1997 Accent Tranny problem????
I've never had any problems with this car. A few weeks ago, I had to get the compressor replaced for my air conditioner. Then I had to take it back to get the belts adjusted because they were squealing like crazy. Right after I had that done, when I went from R to D, the car sputtered and carried on and wouldn't go. So I went back to P and shifted down through VERY slowly, pausing in each gear and it would then go into D just fine. All gears shifted (it's an automatic). Then it started to progress to where it just wouldn't go into D at all...you have to start it in L, then 2, then into D, just like a manual. If you have to stop before you get to D, like in L or 2, it gives a "thump" when you stop and is harder to pull out of the lower gears then. Once you get in D though, like on the highway, and come to a stop, it's perfectly fine.
This morning, it went into D without all the extra stuff, but as the day progressed, it seems to lag when pulling out from stops. I checked the tranny fluid, it's a brownish color, but not dark. Someone mentioned it might be the filter? The fluid isn't low and once you let it sit for a bit, it's fine...it just seems the more it's driven during the day the more problems it causes.
Any suggestions would be super appreciated! I have it scheduled to go into the shop on Thursday. I'm hoping it's not the transmission slipping.
