Stiff change from park to reverse

[s_pack]

Might sound a bit weird, hopped in the car the other day, and i noticed that suddenly it had became really stiff to change from park to reverse. When changing from reverse to park, its pretty stiff, then it clicks into park as feelin like the shifter was pulled from my hand.. If that makes any sense lol.. Any ideas? Got me stumped...

Yeah I have this same problem. In my case its seems like there is a leak from the auto transmision, so check your fluid levels. The other things is my auto seems to need just SLIGHTLY more fluid than the level marker says. It always seemed to be the case even when it was 18 months old (when my family bought it)

what is uni clunk?

[commy92]

when you chuck it in gear and the uni joint has some slop and goes CLUNK.. simply it needs new uni joints but they are so much effort to change so i could be bothered at the momet. lol

Yeah i checked tranny fluid, that was my first thought.. Stuck it over the pit and theres a tiny bit of oil comin from it... im talkin tiny though, and th fluid levels fine.

ohh then i get uni clunk..lol but you get that sometimes

Yeah my uni joints talkitive, haven't worried about it too much though.. Ahh.. the costs of spirited drivin lol

what about spending $100 buks and get a trans service, i did any my shift kit t700 runs so much nicer with tightned bands and new oil, ull notice the difference and its always wise to service the trans to see whats going on

yeah i serivced mine the other week
gasket and filter (repco supershitauto autobarn) bout 12-17 bucks
just make sure the pan you drain into is bigger than the tranny pan (why didnt they just make a sump plug)
and yeah i get super bad uni clunk, but you just gotta stand ont he brake and wack into R or d
