transmission??

ok went and got my oil changed and after that my automatic is giving me shit on switching gears. sometimes when i hit the gas its like im in neutral and sometimes when im driving normal my cxar revs high randomly. any one know what the hell the prob is?
by the way the oil i got in it is 10w40

those peepz probably drained the wrong plug!!!.... so check up on that and make sure...

Yup, drain out your 8 quarts of oil, put four back in, fill up your transmission with about 5 quarts, than go back and kick those guys in the head for being stupid.

im not much on working on my engine yet until i learn all that shit so ill get my moms mechanic to check it out so i dont have to pay for it

koo least u kinda found out in time not like me drove 30 miles to work pshhhh...

its been like this for more than 30 miles

wont get it checked until thursday

dont drive ur car any more u might regret it... have ur friend check it out or go to the dealer

i have no choice but oh well if it messes up i either dont pay anything or a small portion for a new trans

When you find out what is wrong with your trans please post it. My 01 ES is doing the same thing. The trans will switch randomly or kick itself out of gear while I am driving. This is crazy because the car only has 20,000 miles on it.

yea mine has 100,000+ but my np ill tell you whats wrong w/ it as soon as i know

if it is the wrong oil. don't even drive it. if it was the dealer that made the mistake, they might replace the tranny but if it is just the quick lube shops, good luck. mitsu tranny fluid works best even during cold weather. tried valvoline atf to top off the mitsu fluid big mistake and was giving some shifting issues when cold. decided to just flush it now and fill. works fine and will replace the filter and fluid to mitsu fluids when it gets 200,000 miles. I have 197,000 miles now the texaco dextron III looks compatible tried to top off after some high speed driving with no problems.

what type of oil should i use

also how could i change the oil, and any other fluid, i want to be able to do that all myself

also i did get that done at a quick lube place

pepboys should be able to flush and replace your transmission fluid, you can use the havoline/texaco atf dextron III. cost you about 90 bucks. better yet the dealer, but they will replace the filter reinstall the pan and give you mitsu fluids with warranty if they mess it up. about 400 bucks. it should be running perfectly well before they change it or else they can always say it is already broken.

no pepboys here i want to do it myself any thoughts instructions

dude..please be joking....


go out to your car, start it up, let it run for a few, put it in neutral, put the parking break on, then pop the hood, and check the trans fluid, its a dipstick on the trans , and check it, not hard.

sorry im not much of an engine kinda guy im mainly good for electrical

well, i have a 7G ES, with about 107K miles on it,a nd i've been using 10-30 oil in it forever. just my last oil change i put in 10-40 cause my engine's getting old (along with the rest of the car) and i've been having the exact same problems. it started happening like RIGHT after i put the oil in. if i'm driving at around 50 and floor it, the car downshifts and it seems as if the clutch slips, cause the engine just revs really high for a few seconds, that catches all nice and smooth. it's happened only a few times, and i'm not really concerned, but if it gets worse, i dont know what to do. might try putting the 10-30 or 5-30 oil back into it, since the tranny/engine ran great with that grade of oil.

i had 10w40 in the winter and decided to put it in again and after i got it changed it started doing that i hate it i think people will laugh at me when i want to race so i need this fixed this car has to last me until middle of college atleast
