So today I was trying to do a 3 point at a dead end of a parking lot...

i tend to change gears quickly and i let go of the brake even thou I was in reverse the car rolled forward and then had a feedback and then changed to reverse. I never had that happen to me before...I was wondering is that really bad :\...

 

Was the car running at normal temperature or was it still cold?

This can happen if the oil in tranny is cold because of making the solenoids work sluggish.

 

not really i actually drove 20 klicks?

and it was a pretty warm day in this season ahha...

nah I think i was just rushed and kind of expected the car to be just as quick

Thanks for the heads up thou

 

I would check the condition and level of the transmission fluid just to be safe

 

+1 for tranny fluid.......

 

yeah I am suppose to have a leak possibly transmission fluid...thanks for the heads up guys

 

When top up the fluid, make sure to use Dexron-III or Mercon ONLY and NEVER allow even the tiniest piece of FOD fall into the dipstick tube.

FOD...well I checked the dipstick today it seemed alright

the colour was brown? I have read it suppose to be a certain colour?

It was windy today (to the point of wind alert) I didn't fill it up would anything have gotten in?

 

A normal tranny fluid should be clear red.

Any codes in the TCM (Transmission Control Module/ECU)?


JPN

 

The colour is coming out as light brown to red on paper...

codes as in ODBII? I don't have that...unless there somewhere else I can check since you mentioned the ECU?
