Transmission problems

[psychos2]

i got a lit bit different problem my tranny was slipping from 1st to second and then i reilize my tranny fluid was leaking so i brought my VX to shop and change oil pan gasket and refill fluid after week was leaking again came back to shop they order different gasket aftermarket one, a couple days later leaking again came back again they order factory gasket then and it seems fine for now, they replaced on monday and i hope it will be fine. Now i got defferent problem i start losing oil in my engine, lost i quart in 1500 miles does it seems to be right or no?

Try changing your pcv valve.If it is sticking open it will suck oil from the valve cover. shawn

If rings start leaking early it's probably because the engine was not broken in gently or it's been revved to very high rpms regularly.

Psychos may be right about the PCV, and others here commonly suggest cleaning out the EGR valve and the throttle body to reduced oil consumption.

Good luck!!

okay im going to try clean pcv and see what happends because now im at the point that i need to add 1 quart at about every 800 miles. And again my tranny start leaking so my VX will be back in a shop in a couple days it would be my 5th time there with the same problem =(

Thanks for all the input. The problems have gotten progressivly worse and just last night the transmission was not shifting out of 1st gear and then it was slamming into the gears when it finally would after staying around redline for 5-6 secs. Then my check trans light started flashing on and off. Tried stopping engine and restarting nothing helped. Took it into dealer today and they said the fluid level was fine but it was throwing the auto transmission shifter lever code that VehiX mentioned, so they said $375 later and a new shifter lever I should be fine. We will see later today when I pick it up, I have my fingers crossed. Thanks again for all the input.

That shifter lever is adjustable according to what I was told when they fixed this problem for me.

I'm curious as to why it needs to be replaced and YOU have to pay for it rather then having them adjust it for what appears to be a problem THEY caused when you brought it in for service!

Yeah, so the next day after they supposedly installed the trans shifter lever for $400 it did the same thing, hard shifting into third after reving far too high and then check trans light starts flashing. So I took it back in yesterday and I am not going to pay them a dime more, they better fix it for free.
