dave833 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 '92 Legacy SS EJ22t Auto. About 138k miles. Seems to shift through the lower gears OK, but never goes into 4th. I *think* I can feel the TC lock up in 3rd as the RPMS drop slightly sometimes, but not enough to indicate it's going into 4th gear. I recently replaced the filter and fluid... I've only had the car 2 months and had never driven it on the freeway before changing the fluid. It's not throwing any codes and a stall test was within normal range... about 3000 rpms. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presslab Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Sounds like the trans is starting to go. Replacing the fluid can sometimes make things worse, unfortunately. You can adjust the brake band external to the trans, it's responsible for 2nd and 4th gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaleda Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) I had an auto trans do this in a Buick, I knew it was going out and I used some Lucas stop leak/trans treatment, it made the trans work for about 3 months longer and I was heavy footed with it. It might be worth a shot if you cant find anything else that will fix it, jut my $0.02 Edited May 15, 2013 by mikaleda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
