Tranny Sliping!!

ok i have an auto max and my tranny slips the rms when i drive...
but the good thing is that i can red line all the way in first... let off gas and it then switches so its like a 4 speed manual in 1st and a bad auto in 2nd 3rd and 4th.... any thoughts ( torqe converter???)

Does this make sense to anybody?

Yeah he's saying it doesnt shift until redline in 1st gear and shifts poorly in 2,3,4.

I think you should change your fluid immediately. Instead of Lucas, I recommend Lubeguard. Professional shops use lubeguard and its related to old-school sperm whale oil.

I also think there's something wrong with your transmission electronics. First do the fluid change. Then get a good diagnosis. AAMCO or Nissan will do a computer diagnosis. This way you know for sure if its simple or if its a big problem and you can start pricing new transmissions.

Unless you have a VI, this isn't helping make your car faster.

As for the slipping, check the fluid.

i have change the tranny fluid allready... i pulled a improper shift to fourth gear code but its not just fourth... the car in 1st can change before redline but if i want it to go to redline it can like a five speed... fact is.. the tranny is sliping and it might be all four clutches!!!?????
