Transmission kicking... not moving
hey. i have a 98 mitsu eclipse automatic.
car was bought about 1 year ago. dealer said that the transmission was rebuild but we didnt bother to think much of it... and about 6 months ago we had a transmission prob, so we got it fixed via AAMCO, and now its messed up again... this is pretty much what i feel... When the car is put into drive, there is no prob...until i decide to release the brakes... the car slowly begins to roll, then starts kicking as if i was riding a horse... or something.. it move 1 inch at a time... and doesnt move at all...like not even 1 mile per hr... the most i can do is roll... what could that be??  The transmission was changed once before we got it, once 6 months in, and now... is this common in eclipses?? what could it be?? its really annoying... and i kinda need my car to get to work...

Re: Transmission kicking... not moving
Do you remember what the problem was with it before and what they did to fix it? Also, what model eclipse do you have RS, GS, GST, or GSX?

Re: Transmission kicking... not moving
The mitsu is a GS non turbo... i think the problem last time delt with the torque converter... or some solenoid... not too sure... but definately one of the 2...im gonna go with the torque converter.

Re: Transmission kicking... not moving
Do you have access to another transmission computer that you could swap in to see if it makes a difference? It may be the TCU.

Re: Transmission kicking... not moving
With an automatic I believe ur supposed to check the fluid with the vehicle running in park or neutral. Don't shut if off and check the fluid.

Re: Transmission kicking... not moving
Correct, you're supposed to wait till the vehicle is at normal operating temperature, cycle through ALL the gears, and then check the fluid with it in park while running.
