freshpoppie Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I just got a 1990 automatic legacy wagon. It has 107k on it now and had a new transmission put in at 80k. So, when I drive rpms go up to 3000 then it finally jerks into gear. This happens going into 2nd and 3rd, not as bad going into 4th. 2nd and 3rd feels like the cars gonna split in two. Where should I start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Does the engine feel shaky or sluggish? Does it feel like it bogs down at higher rpms? This could be a misfire or power issue causing you to apply more throttle than normal, and will cause the transmission to shift harder. Check the fluid condition and level as well. Is it red? Dark? Black? Smell like burnt toast? The 4EAT trans is not known for being a particularly smooth shifting transmission, but there are additives that can help, and clean fluid always makes a difference.
