All,
Ok, I hope this isn't my trans beginning a slow decline into death - the symptom is a little strange and confined to a single, very specific behavior.
ALL upshifts are absolutely normal.
All downshifts are normal except for 4->3 downshift.
The 4->3 downshift is always normal, EXCEPT for in one very specific circumstance.
If the car is in 4th gear, and I'm slowing down, with no throttle, the 4->3 downshift occurs around 30-31 MPH (I have 2.73 gears).
If I happen to give the car gas at the exact moment that it's starting to downshift on its own, the car will rev momentarily as if it's in neutral, then 3rd gear catches.
Now, I don't go out of my way to do it, mind you, but it just sometimes happens that I have to speed up at that moment.
What's going on? Am I looking at a major systemic failure, or something to the effect of a broken/mangled/missing check-ball or spring, or a single passage clogged in the valve body.
The fact that that particular symptom is the ONLY thing that happens and that everything else is absolutely normal is just baffling to me.....
AOD gurus, can you tell me what's happening inside my trans?
