Automatic Transmission question
Guys,
I always back into parking spots on the edge of the parking lots and when stopping and putting the car into reverse it sometimes takes several seconds (2-4) for the reverse to engage. Any of you guys experience this? Are there any TSB's on this?

two possible reasons that I can think of, with the trans being fully electronically controlled, If the car is still sensing that you are in motion, it will not let the trans into the oppisite direction until it is safe. The other reason is you are low/leaking fluid, Take it to the dealer and have it checked, it is a "sealed" unit and has no dipstick. You cannot add fluid with out a special adapter nipple.

That would be the machanical parking pawl disengaging, you must be parking on some kind of incline in either direction, it is normal, but if you want to avoid it use the e-brake

I've got a 2006GT auto... no delay engaging; however I do get a semi-loud metallic clunk when shifting in/out of Park
