Hello-
I'm having a issue with our 2010 Chevy Impala and I wanted to get some input from you guys/gals.
The Impala has 73K miles and is exhibiting what I would call a slipping transmission maybe 1-2 times a week. It happens only when the car is driven for the first time that day. Let me explain the sequence of events:
1) Start car and let the idle come down a bit.
2) Put it in reverse and back 10-15 feet out of the driveway.
3) Put it in drive and try to pull away. The traction control light blinks, there is a slight grinding noise and the car barely moves.
4) Let off the throttle immediately so the traction light stops blinking.Give it some throttle and she pulls away fine like nothing is wrong. It will drive fine the rest of the day/week and then randomly will do it again...
I pulled the transmission pan this weekend and replaced the filter and added 8 Qts of fresh Chevron Dexron VI as it's on GM's approved list. The fluid level when warm read in the upper 3/4 of the safe zone. Nothing crazy in the pan, when I cleaned the magnet it wasn't too furry.
This AM it did the same thing... Ideas??
Thanks-
Huie
