So auto gurus I need some help pointing me in the right direction. This is my first auto dsm.
The car will slip when upshifting into 3rd gear taking about 2 secs to actual engage the gear. All other gears shift instantly and firmly.
- It will downshift just fine from 4th to 3rd.
- If i flip my switch for full line pressure it is driveable and doesn't slip under normal conditions however if I'm actually running it full tilt(IE the track) it will slip as well.
- I originally thought "sure ill just change the front clutch with a kiggly unit and be done with it" however this did absolutely nothing
. I can tell the old steels and frictions were just fine (although i needed the upgrade anyways).
I'm assuming this is a fluid problem however i really have no idea where to look next. Could this be an issue with the solenoids? a bad seal somewhere? just looking for some direction. Thanks.
