You can try a can of "Trans-X" or other transmission conditioner, but what you're describing sounds more like an internal transmission valve body problem.

Should you feel the gear change from second to first when stopping?

If you can feel the gear change from second to first when stopping you may need transmission fluids. The transmission could be slipping or going out also. Take the vehicle to a mechanic so that they can see what the problem is.

Your check engine light came on today It feels like the transmission is slipping and will not shift into overdrive?

Check Ignition switch. Does your speedo or tach work? If not it's the ignition switch. The transmission needs 12volts to operate and if the ignition switch is not working right you will not have first gear or overdrive, the suburban will try to take off in second and seems like your tranny is slipping!

I'd make sure the bracket connecting the transmission and shifter isn't loose first. My 2000 is notorious for this.

What might be the cause for 1995 ford Taurus with 3 Liter V6 and automatic transmission to feel slipping or sluggish when starting to shift from first to second then shifts hard when the gear changes?

The first thing I would do is change the transmission filter and fluid and have the transmission flushed. This is the cheapest thing you can do to remedy the problem, and it should be done every few years. I hope this helps you. Mark


If your Mercury Mystique has the OD light flashing and the car seems stuck in second does it need the fluid replace or a new transmission?

IF the transmission is slipping when it shifts, I would say it's too late for changing the fluid. I have been in touch with many people who have had these trannies go out. I've had two that first starting slipping when they shifted from second to third gear.I'm in the process of taking one apart to see if I can learn what is causing it to fail. I wouldn't spend very much on an overhaul as they aren't worth it.
