Hello all,
The GFs Impala is having a trans. issue. Originally the following was happening sometimes when shifting from Reverse to Drive. You would shift into Drive and when accelerating the car would move, but would seem to slip/move slowly then suddenly bang/catch into gear and then drive normally.
As of recent, sometimes when coming to a complete stop, the car will do the same thing -- keep in mind while still in drive, no gear change, just accelerating.
I checked the fluid level and it looks fine, was well within the crosshatch mark. Fluid was allegedly changed when we bought the car with 65k on the clock. We're at 72k and some change. Fluid looks pink but either the ATF brand used was super stinky or I'm smelling a little bit of burnt.
Anyone know of any 'typical' 4T65-E problems that happens with these? I figured I best do a fluid/filter change sooner as to later. I'd be bummed if this trans. was on it's way out. I've had many 4T6XXX trans. go and go and go. Thanks.
