Re: transmission issue

How is the fluid level?

Coming to a complete stop then accelerating hard in a straight line is one thing. Accelerating hard out of a corner/off a ramp can force all the trans oil (or engine oil) to one side of the pan or case and potentially starve the oil pickup. This would lower line pressure and possibly cause poor clutch clamping and poor shifts.

Does the symptom occur when coming off a ramp which curves in the opposite direction? Does running the oil level an extra pint over full help the symptoms?
