transmission problem

[blujfan9293]

similarly, my slips (actually, delays "kicking in" from a stop) but I'll feel slippage when gassing on the highway.

I just picked my VX last week; it has been inop for 6 months sitting outside at a mechanic shop. I didn't drive it much before, so doen't remember if was a problem, and had a 100% fluid service Oct 30. I do have a check engine light, but I am in VA and the mechanic is in iL, sowould have to pay for a diagnositic.

There is a delay in the transmission engaging fully. I will accelerate from a stop and it will move, then it feels like it drops into gear, and kicks hard; a feeling and sound like the tranny will soon literally drop off the VX.

I will check the fluid, as recommended in a few posts.

also, my cruise doesn't work with the replacement engine, although the dash notice lights up "cruise control" when I push the dash button, no cruise. Perhaps an easy fix??

"My hood still doesn't "pop" up like most hoods because there is no sping to push the hood up."

Try unscrewing the rubber stops for the hood (about 1/2 turn should do it).

AutoZone will read the code for free. Is your CEL on or flashing?

transmission kick is actually the Torque on Demand kicking in when I acceleratie from a stop; big delay then a thunk

AutoZone says my EGR is bad??
