auto trans question..slipping??

[robg860]

HEllo,

When I nail the gas at 55, and the trans. has to downshift 2 gears, it seams there is a slight miss before the shift change. When I take off and floor it the trans is fine through first second etc. Just flooring it at a higher speed feels like it changes slow. Fluid is original at 100,000 miles. Would a fluid flush and change help??????

I'm having a similar problem as well. 2nd to 3rd gear shifting seems very slow/sluggish. It used to be very quick and firm. I guess this was due considering how much I've beaten on it lately.

100k on the original fluid? That's like 70k too old man.

100k on the auto tranny fluid means you have probably destroyed your tranny. Get it changed immediately

dude, you are supposed to change it every 30K you are 70Kover due on that flush

I remember people saying to change it at 25k regularly, or don't change it at all. If you change it now, it might leak to hell.

Are you still running the stock torque converter ? Also, how many miles do you have on your setup, and is the transmission still stock internally speaking ? I'm answering your question because the original posters question seems obvious. At 100k miles on the factory fluid, his transmission is probably burned out internally speaking.
