Hi guys. Just recently i went on a long trip with the vs. About 2 hours into the trip going 110km/h in 4th gear with cruise control, all of a sudden the car starts revving out to 6500 rpm! pulled over and checked the fluid while it was still running, and it was boiling (bubbles all up the stick). Let it cool down and went out on the road and i saw the revs start to creep up again about 5 minutes later, so i ended up just driving in third gear and then it was fine. my car has only done 95000kms so its hard to believe the tranny is stuffed, i have checked error codes and there are none. Im wondering, is the transmission getting hot, and causing it to slip, or the transmission is slipping, causing it to get hot. Around town the trans feels perfectly fine, but i checked the fluid last night after a half hour of city driving and it was boiling again! anyone know what is going on? fluid is slightly brown but still reasonably clear.
