Hi Just found this forum. Yesterday my car with 200k miles all of a sudden had driving issues. takes about 1500- 2000 rpm to get going. Sometimes and a clonk rear end sound and a sling shot feeling effect. I tried putting it in to manual and sometimes it won't change from automatic to manual until I turn off the car and restart it. Also the A/T checking light comes on when I start it then goes off in a few seconds. Kinda seems like 1 st gear is blown. I brought it to the shop and the fluid is absolutely black. Honestly can't remember if I ever changed the fluid (maybe once). I do remember about 4 years ago the mechanic saying since I missed the scheduled change then don't change it. The fluid level is full. Mechanics say the transmission needs to be replaced $2850. Should have checked the viscosity of the fluid.Your guys thoughts? Anyone feel that changing the oil may solve the issue?
