trans takes time changing when cold

[bethmatt]

Hi all, I will get right to it. I have A vs auto and when it is cold it does not change gear very smoothly. It revs high and feels like you have no power. Do i just need a service or is there something else it may be?
How much should a srevice be on the trans?

thanks.

yea it could just need a service, its not very expensive or hard to do yourself, just check the levels n go from there.
i had my trans cleanned out n serviced not too long ago n it was $150.
a good trans guy will be able to tell you what the deal is..

just check the levels n go from there.

Always start with this, level must be correct (not too low or too high) with the trans warmed up and engine running

might need the tvs cable adjusted a little (pretty easy)

No TVS cable on the VS (electric). I'd check the fluid level when hot and it the fluid is dirty get a service. If the trans is on it's way out it may cost a bit so be prepared if you take it in for a service.

if servicing doesnt fix it then throw in some additive called 'lucas transmission fix'. before this stuff i was never a believer in additives but this stuff is awesome ay trust me, better yet its only around the $20 mark from super cheap. worked a treat when my tranny was slipping and misbehaving lol. just my 2 cents....... good luck with it all mate
