The Sr had the tranny serviced only a year ago. The Forte had it done 2 years ago. Both cars are under 200,000K's.
Cheers.

I'd be guessing at low fluid, so a service and fluid flush would be in order. If that doesn't fix it, then it could be one or more of the valves/solenoids that control fluid flow - not cheap!

sounds like the S5 solenoid this controls the line pressure and will result in delayed 1/2 shifts if it is on its way out

In any case, I'd follow JC's advice, go a full flush and service for each trans @ approx $250 per vehicle and that should get it sorted. I know that's a fair amount of moula, but a full flush uses a stack of trans fluid. If the problem still persists, then the solenoid and valve body treatment might need to be next. I've had that job quoted at $450. For the record, a reco tranny is about $1650 give or take a bit. All the best with it, GK

my understanding is the S5 is line pressure and effects both up and down shifts. a shift kit alters the S5 signal and it gives a firmer up and downshift

By the sounds of it ... it needs a service.
Seeing as it was serviced over a year ago at least ... it's long overdue for a service. It may have plenty of fluid in the transmission ... but like i found with mine ... the fluid had degraded and is like water (not the correct viscosity to keep line pressure up). For starters ... service it ... your transmission will love you for it ... most common reasons for them to fail is lack of servicing. If problems still persist ... get it checked out further.

Service definitely, 12 months is a fair while to go without one let alone 24 months.

They are good reliable and strong transmissions,but as Mechan1k said, the main reason for failures on them is lack of maintenance. Mine is sweet again now- and I get it serviced every 3 months now,regardless of fluid condition. Good luck! |
