got a 96 automatic... so today I started to accelerate and it seemed that the trasmission did not want to catch. Finally it would catch but not until it got to about 3000rpms. This has me nervous as hell. I checked the fluid and everything is fine. any suggestions?

Was it warmed up or cold?

jimfash

warm, I can accelerate slowly and just before it is ready to shift, it revs to about 3000rpms, and shifts HARD

jimfash

same warm or cold

Change the transmission filter screeen.

Or just do a complete fluid exchange with synthetic and a new filter if it hasnt been done already. Can't be too careful plus when they lower the pan you can check it out for any shavings.

jimfash
