Here is what is happening right now (as it happened yesterday).
- I start the car, first thing in the morning and the transmission engages when I put on D immediately and I can drive around nicely for a while. Same thing happens when I manually put on gear 1.
- The engine (and transmission) warm up slowly and at one point (not fully warmed up), when I come to a stop for lights etc. , the slipping starts. I drive the car gently and manually switch up to 4 (and back to 1) to keep it going slowly. Most of the time this works as long as I keep going at a slow speed. Engagement would be back to normal.
- If I come to stop and go to P at a parking area etc. , when I put the car back on M1 or D, transmission may not engage until I manually shift up and down or sometimes if I go back to P and put back to D again.
- Once the transmission engages and warmed up, I can drive without problems both manually and in automatic.
I have followed the proper procedures I read on the internet but all this still makes me believe there is not enough fluid in there. I will try to add more fluid by raising the fill side up to see what happens next, I guess..
Thanks,
