Transmission shifting issues...
Hello again, my girlfriends SSEi is once again having problems.
Lately, it'* been hunting for gears. Usually on a stop or downshift, doesn't seem to have any issues upshifting. When she stops, she'll go again and the car will take off like it'* in second or third gear and then after a few seconds, downshift into first. Likewise when hammering it from a roll, it'll wait and then downshift.
I put a little less than a quart of tranny fluid in it, as it looked quite low and she said that improved it a little bit, but hasn't gotten rid of the problem completely. Any ideas?
Thanks.
oh, oops. It'* a '98 SSEi

Agreed... Is the fluid at the proper level?
You will need the car to be warm( short drive of a couple of miles should do, Not super hot )
While the car is idling, shift into each gear selection for at least 2 seconds to allow the fluid to fill all of the circuits.... Then once you make it to first hold it for a couple of seconds and shift into park, leaving the car idling check the fluid, it should be in the crosshatched area..
