you could have broken gear teeth. but thats just a complete guess.
I'll agree with the second part of the statement. But, changing the fluid in an auto should be done from 24-36000mi (depends on manufacturer recommendation), sooner under harsh conditions. If the fluid gets hot it reduces it's capacities to function properly. A fluid and filter change with some lucas oil tranny fix (this stuff is magic) might help you out and for roughly $35, this is cheaper than taking it to a tranny shop for an evaluation, where most will tell you to have a rebuild done for average cost from $1000-2000. I'd spend the $35 first and see if it helps.amerijeep said:You know, I always have heard that you shouldn't change the fluid in your auto tranny. However, I don't think you're going to be any worse off.
I'd bet money that someone was hard on that thing before you got it.
Assuming the fluid level is okay. Try letting it warm up for a few minutes before heading out next time. Also see if shifting up from 1 to drive does anything when you start out, any funny sounds etc, rpm go up etc. etc. another thought, is eveything think connected to the throttle body okay?activelydying said:it usually does it within a few minutes after starting. it starts out fine leaving the driveway and everything, but usually once i get on the street and start to give it a little gas it misses. it seems like it happens as it tries to switch to second gear.
