My auto tranny slips once in a while. Does thsi make sense at all?? In talkin to a few shops they state that an auto tranny clutch slipage is normal for a sc maxima with torgue and valve body upgrades. The car sometimes slips and other times drives fine. PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPPPP!!!
Thanks in advance for your help guys

 

It seems to slip if I floor it before the clutch has heated up. I also noticed that it slips when the clutch is really hot after a stop and go drive. It only really connects when the temperature is in the middle,but it still slips a little then. My cure is a new cluch{which is the mail}. You may want to try redline ATF and/or get a tranny cooler. The cooler and Redline ATF should lower the temperature by 60-80 degrees. Best of luck!

 

SC ruins auto trannys fast!!! You should have a tranny cooler and don's vb mod (or level 10 tranny) to compensate

EZ

 

I have dons vb and i use rdeline already. and the temo situation your having with you 5sp is exactly what im goin through. I already have the stillen tranny cooler with level ten torgue converter and dons vb. Can I replace the clutch alone or not??

THANKS FOR YOU HELP IN ADVANCE~!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well auto's do not have clutches, I think they use a torque converter or something. How many miles on your Auto tranny? How many miles has the SC been on? If you have 100+K miles it may be time to start thinking about getting a tranny rebuild. Just a idea if the problem is getting worse and worse.

 

Let's let Steve handle this one. Where are you skimax

 

auto's actually do have clutches...there function is not exactly the same as a 5speeds though
