Default 2005 T5 tranny trobules

Hi everyone,

I've been experiencing troubles with mi car's automatic tranny. It happens that when it gets hot it starts to kick very hard at the moment of shifting, the worst part is when the car shifts from 3rd to 4rd gear it feels like if you were in neutral and then the next gear enters and gives a nasty kick, here is more or less the secuence of what it does:

3rd gear -(rpm reach heaven)- neutral (it feels like)--4rd gear (AND KICK)

I think the pump isn't making the enough pressure to shift probably becuase of the oil, but also I would like to know what you think

Regards!

I think your car needs a transmission flush. It sounds like the fluid is shot or at the very least, low. Take a look at the fluid, if it is not nice and red, then flush the system.
