transmission problems
Alrite, so more problems with the 850. It has a BAD tranny fluid leak, and will often hesitate when pressing down the throttle and when put in reverse will go forward. When i add more tranny fluid it doesnt do it as much, but within the next couple days will start again. So yesterday i drove 100 miles to go to an overnight concert. When i start up my car in the morning the check engine light came on along with the blinking arrow. The transmission was also shifting really wierd. When lightly accelerating it wouldnt shift out of first until about 4500 rpm, and whenever i'd accelerate the rpms would go way higher than normal to shift gears. Btw, in economy mode, not sport. I had to drive it back to my house like this 100 miles, until i finally reached an advance auto. They read my obd, and it came up TCC error. I bought a quart of atf and added it in, and it ran alot better, but the check engine light and bliking arrow were still on. Then after i get out of work, i see large stains on the ground from leaking fluid. I drove it without problems, but the check engine light was still on, not blinking arrow. Could the bad transmission leak cause codes? And if so, what is a suspect? I have already put hundreds of dollars into the car and my dad says he wants to get rid of it and buy a civic or a camry(really dont want to get one) because he doesnt want to dump more money into it but i really love the car and would only want to get another 850. And if so, am i going to be facing the same problems?
