So my OZ is getting old
I have a bit less than 125K miles on it and it just doest have the pep that it used to. I know part of this is from my clutch slipping but its an automatic so im kinda SOL...what can I buy, clean, replace, etc to get it back to where it used to be? Or is this just a lost cause?

 

No clutch on autos. Check atf. Any mods? Last tune up?

 

No mods and i got a tune up recently, but the car still drove the same. As for ATF, when i change it the car runs great again for about a day...then goes back to being hesistant.

 

Explain.

 

Thats not exactly true, auto have a set of discs inside the tranny that serve the same type of function as the clutch on manuals allowing the car to idle without dying while in drive and what not. One or more of the discs inside his tranny maybe shot causing his issue

 

i also have a 03oz but have around 51,000 less miles than you... no issues knocks on wood

if its slippin it may need a rebuild...

 

Mine tends to slip every now and then, have you tried just resetting the ECU...that solved my issue...

 

When I get new ATF fluid, theres no hesitation with acceleration. Now if i push the gas I get a whiney noise and an increase in RPMs then some acceleration. I've posted this issue before and someone suggested that the transmission might be giving out.

Thanks, I may try that!

 

Are you one of those guys that trys to manually shift your automatic? That right there is why your tranny is all screwed up.... If not, then I apologize in advance for criminalizing you.
