I had the all too popular MLPS failure at 145,xxx. I swapped the sensor and all 14 qts of trans fluid. Last May.
Fastforward to today.....
I leave work and drive the same way every day. When I get to Merriman rd my car wont go into 3rd... I can manually shift right into 2nd just fine. I kinda coast for 8 or so seconds and it will finally shift into third......Then thats it. Thats the only time i get problems.
The car sits from 8pm at night til 10am the next day.
When I leave work the past 3 days ( since this started) I have ZERO problems, Also after the first mishap I can drive to work just fine.
I was unbale to put "Great" trans fluid into the car..I used Castrol Mercon V. I FIRMLY believe in synthetics. Syn OIL,TRANS and REAR fluid for 5 years now.
OMG you really read all that.....Ok heres my sales pitch. When the car sits the longest and during the "coldest" part of the 24hr cycle is the ONLY time I get problems.
My trans fluid is nice and red and up to the level. I also recheck the MLSP and he's fine too.
So my theory is the trans fluid has to heat up and expand and then it shifts fine.
Any thoughts or ideas ?
OH I have 159,xxx now
