aa8jzdial Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 My daughter has 91 legacy 2wd auto. When going from park to drive there is a noticable pause before the xmsn 'catches'. Wife has a 95 legacy auto and she noticed this on the older car a couple a days ago when she took it for a short drive. The lag is an extra 2 seconds maybe. It doesn't seem to slip when running down the road. Is it soon to fail? Have heard mention of a product called Trans X. Any word on this stuff? Or should we start shopping for a used xmsn? rick w mi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Have you recently checked the transmission fluid level? Or changed the fluid? I would start there. If you haven't changed the fluid in a while, do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa8jzdial Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Fluid was little low. Topped up and no difference. Will have her change fluid. Should be cheap shot. Again, is there any word on this TRANS X stuff. tnx Rick w mi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I haven't heard anything about the trans x stuff. However if your trans is really on its way out.....no amount of additives will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Flush the tranny. A lag is a sticking valve in the valve body. If everyimg else shifts ok, you may have to live with it. Other choice is to go to a shop and have them put a pressure gauge on it and see what pressures the tranny is operating at. How does the car shift otherwise? nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa8jzdial Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 From what I can tell, the tranny shifts just fine. What pressure should the xmsn run at? I s'pose the guys with the gauges should know. If all she has to deal with is the lag to engage I see no big issues. tnx rick w. mi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 It's not that easy as me telling you "x" pressure, as there are various pressures for various shift points. I dont have the tranny book around, so i am not sure, but do record the numbers and share them. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
