Hey Guy,


My transmission is acting really weird in this hot weather. The problem only seems to happen during the hottest time in the day and during sundown and in the mornings nothing happens. :wtf2:

Ok but the problem is that when I shift Into any gear it seems as if the clutch is still being pressed. And this gets really bad once the motor is at Op temp, al my gears go through this untill i get home from work. When at a stop light the engine goes but when i let it go of the gas to get the transmission going with it, the car starts to do a slow creep like the clutch is being pressed.If i drive it now during this time it will not give me any problem. :mad: So its really difficult to show my dad or anyone else cuz they think im crazy. I topped off the transmission fluid and it helped a little but the problem is still there. Any info would help thanks I keep you guys updated.

sounds like a bad clutch

(he said "as if the clutch is being pressed" this implies that it has a clutch)

there si no cable it's hydraulic, and when a clutch gets old and slips it generally didn't do that before ;)
