I have a 1995 Mustang Lx 3.8 L automatic transmission with over drive transmission slips when driving only when it goes to shift but if you let off the fuel pedal just as its about to shift it shifts no problem does not slip on take off any idea what the problem is ????

 

this probably isn't it, but a friend once told me he had a very small leak of some sort that was lubing his transmission and started slicking things up that it shouldn't....for the most part, i know nothing. i'm here to learn =P

 

whats the mileage on your car?

 

Check your transmission fluid level. I had a problem once with my 3.8 auto trans. It would shift hard sometimes. Took it to a trusted tranny mechanic and he told me just to change the fluid including the fluid in the torq converter which is pretty easy and the filter. Mine ran fine after that. But if your trans fliud is even a quart low it cause it to do some funny things. Make sure it's running and warm when you check it.

 

Yes check the fluid levels. When was the last time (if ever) that the fluid and filter was changed?

the car has 324,000 km on it

 

yeah if you haven't done anything with the trans fluid with that many miles then it would be a good place to start

 

silly Canadians - anyone for how many that is in miles???

Matthew

 

damn i missed the km part lol. did a conversion online and got this; 324000 Kilometers = 201333.60000 Miles

 

time for a rebuild
