I've got an auto. When I'm cruising in 4th, lets say around 60 mph and I just touch the pedal, my RPMs jump to 3.5-4K/min. It then goes back into 4th abruptly and it doesn't feel too good. I checked my tranny fluid and it seems like the entire dipstick is wet. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. What's wrong with my car?

Thanks,
Matt

 

My guess is your TC is unlocking.

man, i feel like a broken record saying this almost 5 times just this afternoon!

 

best thing to to is check the fluids first thing in the morn when your baby is nice and cold that way to get a correct reading. As for the tranny and rpm jump how hard are you pressing the pedal


but im thinking like soundmike i think its the TC unlocking also

 

Um, no.

You check trans fluid when the car is warm.

 

i meant in general about the fluids

sorry about that

brain fart ...pfffhhhhttt

 

responsive, isnt it?

my guess would be that your downshifting from 4th to 3rd gear
