Yes. If problem persists after dropping the transmission pan, replacing the filter and fluid (approx 4 qts) then you need your transmission scanned at a reputable transmission shop that has a good scanner to read any codes your transmission has set.
1. Low transmission fluid. Check this first. 2. Old transmission fluid and clogged filter. 3. Worn clutches inside transmission.
I would suspect a clogged transmission filter. Have the transmission fluid changed and the filter replaced. See where you stand after this service. Do not have the transmission flushed. But also make sure they change all the fluid and not just what is in the pan.
Had problem with 86 Lincoln not shifting properly when cold. I assumed it was because the fluid was thicker and would be more affected by a clogged filter. I had the transmission flushed and the filter cleaned and it worked perfectly from then on.
Your transmission's filter may be clogged, you may be low on transmission fluid, or the transmission may need repair or replacement. If the transmission was full of fluid, I would suggest a transmission flush, or replacing the transmission filter and fluid. If this doesn't help the transmission may actually be damaged and may need repair or replacement.
Possibly partially clogged filter. I would suggest you have the fluid and filter changed. If this does not help, time to visita professional transmission tech. Do not flush the system if it has been neglected and not serviced every 36,000 miles. Just drain and refill.
Yes
The filter is actaully located inside of the transmission itself.....you would have to remove the transmission and tear it apart to get to the filter
Sounds like the transmission filter is partially clogged. The colder temperature makes the fluid thicker and it flows less easily through the filter in cold temperatures. Have the transmission serviced. Change all the fluid and the filter. I would not recommend you have the transmission flushed as you more than likely have lots of miles on this vehicle. Flushing the transmission at this juncture may stir up trouble. Just drain and refill.
the transmission filter is internal so you would have to pull the transmission apart
If the fuel filter is clogged, it will act like it is running out of fuel. It can also cause the fuel pump to fail. The clogged filter will overheat the pump and destroy it.
Assuming it is an automatic transmission, I would check the fluid level. When the transmission is warmed up, the level should read 'full' on the transmission dipstick. Check the color and smell of the oil. Does it smell burnt, or does it appear to be brown instead of red? Perhaps the filter screen is clogged.
Quite possibly you may need the trans serviced. Probably has a partially clogged trans filter.
