i always use N before slamming it into D..find tis tranny isnt like anyother automatic where while still rolling backwards u can throw in d..itll slip and then go in as u slow down fully. Use N..come to a stop..then D..simple solution..and saves everything

 

Wow, just "Oh well" ?
Easy for them to say =\

 

sounds like an electronic issue car's not compensating in rpms for the gear change from R to D or softward issue maybe. As long as you're stopped you should be able to go from R to D with no issues. I do it every day in cold/warm weather with no issues. Now If I'm moving the slightest bit backwards it will stall. You really did all you could though. As long as the dealer documented it even if you're out of warranty I would assume if it gets worse they will cover it since the problem was a pre warranty expiration existing condition.

There are so many parts on this trans and the dealer is soo ill trained on them it's hard to get little issues like that fixed.

 

happens to me too.. You have to wait like half a second before shifting into d. Kinda sucks when you are trying to do 2 point turn.

 

the delay is most likely there due to software trying to "engage - disengage" the synchros very smoothly, so they don't get overworked causing more wear than it has to. It's not like an slush-box automatic where you just throw it in D and go.

 

no its a tunning thing ......
it happend to me once stock ...
never happend to me after getting tuned
get not tuned until your warrenty is out just to make sure something happends

 

I haven't had it happen going from Reverse to drive, but sometimes if I don't let the car warm up enough when I go to put it into reverse from Park it will sit there and and the letter will start blinking as well as on the display between the gauges. and it takes a little bit into engage into gear. that is the only odd thing I have noticed with my tranny.
