lexusk8 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Check the color of your tranny fluid. If it's anywhere near grey or black, the fluid has to be replaced. I recommend a simple drain and fill procedure for this one (which should cost around $100 from the dealership), but if you can't remember the last time the tranny fluid was replaced, you might want to do a complete tranny fluid flush.

Toysrme Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 After you do the fluid, check / adjust the kick-down cable. If it's loose, when you step on the gas you'll twittle your thumbs for it to shift. Then it'll make a big plump shift when it finally shifts.
