Hey everyone, it's me again. Now that i got my engine running real well, I can work on other issues with the car. This could still be engine related, but I am thinking not. I put a new tranny in 6 years ago and it has about 6k miles. It was a rebuilt from RockAuto, but seems to have always had some issues.
1) when I come to a stop, the car does not drop down to the lowest gear all the time and when I take off, I need to gas it to get it to drop down. A/C was running.
2) Hard shifts, especially down shifting from 3rd to 2nd (I believe).
3) Hard shift when going into passing gear.
Oil level is correct, tested it the right way a while back.
I have a tranny cooler.
I had a friend install the tranny as I did not have a tranny lift.
The torque convertor is supposed to be new or rebuilt, they don't tell you which one you get.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
