I've wondered if maybe the thermostat could be partly the blame since it doens't seem to be registering properly. But wouldn't that cause it to do this in the summer too?
My BF said I should just wait until the summertime to sell it and not say anything about the transmission (since it really does drive well, this is only a cold weather issue.) But I don't want to NOT mention it.....
Would dropping the pan and changing the fluid hurt the transmission at all? I"ve been told NOT to do a flush since it's an OLD car.....might damage seals and call for a rebuild (which I want to AVOID, especially since It's for sale.) But I've also been told that a car will get "used" to it's transmission fluid and changing it is bad too. Is that an old wives tale? I haven't checked it recently, but last time I checked it, it was reddish and I didn't notice an odor to it. Although I probably wouldn't know the difference.....LOL!
