Hi, my name is\*\*\*\*\* to justanswer. Lets see if we cant get you rolling again. So far, you have changed the transmission fluid and filter? Did that make any difference? **\*\*You may receive a prompt from justanswer, not me, about a premium service offered including a phone call. I don't usually offer this service, but if you feel the need to call and talk to a professional, then one will be available. Thank you\*\*** \*

No its doing the same thing

Inside the transmission there are electrical control units called solenoids that control the 1-2 shift and 3-4 shift. These solenoids tend to wear or become sticky from the fibers in the old fluid which can cause an extended shift concern.

Ok cool.. Can it also be a bad shifting cable?
Automotive Expert
It sounds to me like they are sticking slightly. There is a product called Lucas Oil Transmission Fix. Comes in a white bottle and is added right to the trans. This stuff works great and may take care of your problem. Shift cable would not cause this type of concern.

I will try Lucas oil fix before I change the solenoids.Thank you so much Jim for advise.
