So I Bought My car about a Month Ago and i love it. But now its starting to lag a little bit i guess its when it gets warm from R into D It takes like 3 Sec to Engage than i Here a thump. I Hope im not screwed Im still paying for the car! lol Help Please.

 

Have you or someone else checked the transmission fluid and condition? The fluid should register between the 'High' and 'Low' marks with the gear selector in Park and engine idling and warm . Also, the fluid should be a reddish pink hue. With that said, the transmission fluid will thin somewhat when warmed to operating temperature and can cause a lower pressure when the engine is idling. The best thing to is just wait with foot on the brake the few seconds needed for the transmission to engage.

 

Guess what... I took it in to a shop he checked the fluids it did need a bit of fluid. But the major thing was the motor mounts are out so I'm taking it back on Monday top one is done!!! Who knows how the Lower mount is he will check it. He's also going to check the rest of the fluids in the car!

By the way do you know if I can clear the srs light myself, or do I have to take it to the dealer for that? I had someone install an iPod adapter and the pulled the fm antenna!
Thanks so much!

 

Resetting the service reminder indicator (SRI), model years 2002-
The service reminder indicator (SRI) informs the driver that it is time for the car to be serviced. The text message is displayed for 120 s each time the ignition is switched on.

Proceed as follows to reset the service reminder indicator (SRI):
-Ignition position I
-Press and hold in the reset button for the trip odometer
-Ignition position II.
Note! Turn the key to position II within 2 seconds.
-Hold the reset button for the trip meter pressed in until the original value has been reset.

(Note! For all vehicles from the 2003 model year a general yellow lamp will light when the reset button must be released.)

-Release the reset button for the trip odometer within 4 seconds. The instrument gives an audible signal when resetting has succeeded.

-If the trip meter is already reset the reset button should be held in for a minimum of 10 seconds and a maximum of 14 seconds.
Note! If the reset button for the trip odometer is not released within 4 seconds, the service reminder indicator (SRI) is not reset.

 

Thanks so much! I'm going to try it tomorrow morning.

 

I believe the question was about an SRS not an SRI.
The SRS (safety restraint system) warning can be triggered when working within the dashboard area, or the drivers seatbelt.
I suspect it might reset if the battery is disconnected for 10 minutes - but I cannot guarantee that you will not then need a radio code.
Mine does not, but mine is 2001.
