Default Auto trans problem . Sluggish
Every now and then I get in my car and when I put it it drive and proceed to go the car is very slow like the auto is slipping ? And then sometimes it works shift good ? Today I drove it to work like that and the downshift button on the floor didn't work either ?

Why does this do this ?

Yes, it probably is slipping or your TC is bad. Change the fluid recently?

It tends to happen from shifting from rev to drive or something i think .

Does it buck at all when it goes from normal to sluggish?

Might be a fluid level issue.

Nope just feels like I'm driving a go Cart like it's slipping the whole time . . I'll check the fluid one day and see .

It'll make the car much more enjoyable on the "spirited" drives.
