987687 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Is the AT TEMP light lit on the dash? Does it flash 16 times when you start the car? That's the diagnostic light for the transmission, it's possible to have that flash the trouble codes so you can figure out what's wrong. I can't remember how to do it, but there's a thread in the USRM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 suggest you check the transmission fluid level on the dip stick. When was the last time you changed transmission fluid?? Not sure fluid level will fix your problem, but it is a good start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corlitoa Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Well the trasmisión fluid is goot i changed it 4 months ago the light for the transmission temperature does not como on. Well i dont think is electrical because it doesn't engage in drive and wen i go true the gears manually it work but is slipping on 3 gear up untill it gets up to speed and dont slip no more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstevens76 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 So you changed the fluid 4 months ago and haven't checked it since? If you have a leak you could be down by 3 quarts and that could be causing your problem.............................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corlitoa Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 No no leak in the trany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstevens76 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Seriously, just check your fluid. It takes a couple of minutes. Just because you don't see a drip doesn't mean it isn't leaking occasionally, or specifically while under pressure while driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

987687 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Are you checking the fluid properly? Warm it up, cycle through all the gear positions, then leave the transmission in park. Check the oil in a level position with the engine running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
