my tranny is about to go...

[cerfus]

I think. I'm not sure but i think it is. here are the symptoms, you tell me.

Every time I'm entering a corner hard in first gear at about 3-5k rpms then shifting to second without easing off the gas my car will slip gears go into neutral, then rev up to like 6k rpms, then shift into second with a big lurch

When I brake too fast in tip mode and stop at a stop light I'll look at my revs notice there at like 2k then the car will lurch forward and drop back down into .5-1k rpms as it should while being idle.

If I'm coming to a stop and I'm at about 15mph and i shift into first the car will make a big lurch.

Is my car planning on being dead soon? If so its going up for sale haha.

Well i never use tip mode, EVER! and thats why ppl need new ones, they use tip to much, but thats my opinion, i would never use that thing, ever.

[cerfus]

it does it out of tip too though..thats what scares me, I'd just rather I don't have to go through the process of selling my car. just too much of a hassle.

[white fish]

my 90 buick did almost the same things when it was low on tranny fluid

[cerfus]

I checked that and it was just in the shop and it was fine down there, thats what makes me think its kaput.

[Gigi]

did it just start doing this all of a sudden? or was it progressive? has it always done it more or less any recent mods?
are you chipped? tip chip??\
how many miles?

[cerfus]

its been doing this for awhile now but has gotten progressively worse and yeah its always done it before I started moddin the car, and no I had a tip chip but I never got around to install it, so I just old it. the car has some miles on it 108K.

i'd say take it easy and get it looked at, the first description doesn't sound good at all+

and a note on tip, i always drive in tip mode, and hard... love it... and the trans is holding up amazingly well for being almost 10 years old

[FrankA6]

bad code maybe? my tranny just stoped working one day, bcuz of a bad code, is it in limp mode or is the cel on?

[cerfus]

no codes are showing, and today while I was driving it I was turning and the car just stalled and was sitting there revving, I had to turn the car off then back on and switch it from drive to reverse. then It would switch into first gear and actually move rather than just sit there and do nothing. Im planning on trading the car in this week for either a gti or a wrx sti.

[audirs]

my parents 2000 honda accord was doing the exact same thing when the tranny was on its way out. it got to the point where it was almost impossible to drive. the car was doing neutral drops every 6 seconds, revved up then popped into gear, over and over

[cerfus]

yeah the cars pretty much gonna get the boot as soon as i find a suitor

[oc-drop]

[cerfus]
