Need help with some issues with my VX

[Y33TREKker]

He told me that he serviced the transmission fluid and filters in 2010 .....
I live in fort lee, nj 07024 ..bergen county

Trans fluid filters are changed more according to mileage than by time, usually 30,000 to 40,000 miles between changes is a general rule of thumb, but driving tendencies and vehicle usage can make that vary, so it's something to keep in mind.

I saw that these three members were listed in your area on the member's map, but Gussie seems to have been the most recently active, so you might consider emailing or PM'ing him for suggestions for mechanics in your area who might have more experience with the VehiCross.

Hi Creeg,

Your experience is similar to mine...i would say almost identical. My mechanic told me that the transmission is starting to slip.......and he suggested me that a transmission job may have to be done...(around 3000)......did you check this issue with any mechanic?.......I just want to make sure that is the problem before I spent that kind of money....but he is going to put a fluid on saturday...i will get the name of it. He said it may slow down the slippery problem but in the long run , I will need to do the fixing of the transmission.

Jheyson,
I may be experiencing the same revving issue at speed that you have, but I have not found a solution to the issue yet.

I have found that it happens at just about 26-27 mph. What happens is that sometimes (not always), when I hit that speed, it feels like it misses a shift point, and stays in a lower gear when it should actually have shifted into a higher gear. I end up with the engine revving high if I hit the gas, and I usually have to back off the gas, let it settle for a couple seconds, get down below 26 mph. Then, it usally will shift correctly into the higher gear that it seemed to have missed the first time around.

Does that sound like what you are experiencing?

Hi, did you ever figure out the problem with your transmission slipping?
I havent figured out what the issue is either, and wanted to see if you found a solution.
Ive taken it to a reputable transmission shop, and they cant figure out what it is, and they dont want to rebuild the transmission and charge me if its something much simpler.

did your mechanic check your battery cables for corrosion when he replaced the battery? I had to cut away about 4 inches of my negative cable and replace the connecter. it had managed to get corrosion inside the the rubber/plastic casing on the cable. Mine had sat a couple weeks and then wouldnt start, replaced the battery and still nothing. fixing the corrosion and connecters did the trick, fires right up now. just something to consider
