Transmission help!
My 96 reverse gear slips when the car is hot. It runs fine in all other gears. The reverse gear work fine when the car is cold. I change the oil in the pan today, but the problem persist. Should I try to change the filter as well? Why it works when the car is cold and not when it is hot? Help!
