When I glanced at the thread title, "Tranny Skips", I chuckled and thought ... "Well, probably the more effeminate ones do.". B) Maybe it's from the nightmares after my wife dragged me to see the movie "The Crying Game" in 1992, but I overwhelmingly prefer the word "transmission" to describe an automobile gear box -- please see the politically incorrect attachment and forgive me. :o Regarding your slipping transmission, common advice is to do a few "drain and refills" of the transmission fluid to see if it helps. Does your RX have a lot of miles on it and has the transmission been serviced regularly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told its best not to drain and refill the transmission fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George_Jetson Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Have you checked the oil level? What does the fluid look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
