shortlid Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I was driving my Aunts '01 OBW with 105k and 4EAT. I know that I drive A LOT diff. from she BUT. When I go WOT on the car it shift down for a second then up angain BOGS then SHIFT down and goes?? Is this a fluid issue looks like the right level and color. Or does the computer need to learn how I want to beat on it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzam Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Sounds more like the ECU controlling it than mechanical/fluid issues. You could try resetting the ECU and try again, or stop beating Auntie's car! Seriously, I have never be "happy" with the shift points or the delay of downshift in our MY01. I feel like I have to slam my foot to the floor and pray the 4EAT downshifts so that tractor trailer doesn't run me over while I merge into traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxrflyboy Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I'll second the lazy nature of the transmission. I normally manual shift the transmission on road tests, since they normally refuse to shift down into second after a right turn onto an entrance ramp. I HATE lazy automatics!

shortlid Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 OK, so it is a 4EAT being lazy. Now I know why I got rid of the '98 Legacy L wagon my Grandpa gave me. That 4EAT did do weird things even after puting full Syn. in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
