tranny flush

 

Thanx ...i dont have any cash thou but i am gonna sell my Escort 8500 x50 thou.....

 

How many miles u have?

 

102k

 

thats when mine started happening.

 

so the tranny flush stopped it?
yea becuz its also shifting weird!
the fluid isnt burn yet but its dirty
and yea i know that when it burns so does the tranny so i gotta get it done this month!

 

Make sure, as stated earlier they change filter thinge.

 

i started to get this problem when i hit 65k miles. im just glad im not the only one.

 

yeh well my warranty is up, so i will have to pay the full $170 to get a tranny flush. But i don't got the money right now so it's gonna have to wait

 

just theory, after a long drive you have high engine temps but also alot of airflow. when coming to a stop without really a 'cooling' run, your engine temp skyrocket from lack of airflow until radiator fan kicks in and drops it back down and idle drops from voltage drain

 

i say you put u a collection so we can all see if this is the answer!

 

thats a good theory, but why would it only do it in park, and not in neutral? Also why only with higher mileage cars?


I'm all for that. i will take donations.

 

well i cant answer the neutral or park issue, maybe its just coincedence or how much u coast if ur neutral compared to park (just braking and stopping fast)....

as for high mileage, possibly your radiator fluid is old and lost its effectiveness. grounding could also be reduced by dirty/rusty connections. ur maf or just air filter can be dirty and effect ur idle also. could be a number of small issues causing this....

 

well i am gonna get a ground kit and see if that helps.
But from what i can see, it seems like a transmission issue. If it where anything else, the car would have issues in all the gears, and when stopped and lights and stuff, which isn't the case.

 

mine was having it in all gears but went away when i cleaned MAF sensor and spark wire connections hasn't came back!!
