I have a 94 850 non turbo and when the car is "cold", when it is put in drive, it doesn't want to shift out. If I drop it down one gear for about 2 or 3 seconds, then shift it back into "D", it shifts fine. When the car warms up, there is never a shifting problem. Any idea what this could be? I haven't had the car long, and had the tranny flushed right after I got it, but no change. Could it be the transmission filter, or the TPS, or what? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

 

Any codes in the engine and transmission?

 

No...no codes showing at all. After it is driven MAYBE 1/2 mile...it shifts just great...every time. The car has just under 100K on it, if you need to know about the mileage on it.

 

HMMM maybe a solenoid or something is hanging up.

 

So...what would you do...just drive it like it is, or have someone pull the tranny (eeeks)...or what?

 

I would drive it till it gets alot worse.
Mine is doing something almost the opposite. When I stop at a light or stop sign when hot it goes into Neutral till I hit the gas.

I am letting it go till it dies. Hopefully when it goes I will swap it to a manual tranny car.

 

OK....that's what I am going to do. THANKS A LOT for your input...has had me scratching my head for a while!!! It's a super nice car...with low miles...but the idea of starting to pull the tranny and dump a LOT more money into it....doesn't do it for me..ha! Thanks again!!!

 

Your welcome.
