HELP! I changed the tranny fluid myself about 2000 miles ago with no problems til now...
Backing outa my parking spot my VX temporarily slipped outa R. Today it slipped outa 1st while pulling out. Engine was cold the first time, warm the 2nd time.
After it slipped outa first, it took just a sec, then it was fine. Once i started driving, as soon as I hit just under 40 mph, the TOD "CHECK" light started flashing, and it split the power 50/50 front and rear. I stopped the car, started it in 1st, and shifted manually through all the gears -- still had the TOD problem.
Pulled over, put it in N, dropped to 4L and drove. Didn't get it up to 40, but didn't notice any problems. Put it back in N, then 4H, and then drive and had the same problem again. No clue what to do. I'm tempted to check underneath the car and pull the TOD plug to see if it overflows (which is GOOD), but unfortunately I don't have my little hand pump i use to fill the TOD, so if it's low there isn't squat I can do.
Any suggestions?! Only 18000 miles................ I'm hoping someone has an answer before tomorrow morning, as I have to drive the beast to work. Is it safe to drive?
