How do I definitely tell if the 6 is suffering from the A/T slippage seen in the service bulletins.

The applied dates are for vehicles built before September 28 2000. Mine is built before this date.

It says applied vins are vehicles built before JN1CA31D1T611588, JN1CA31D1T810486, JN1CA31A1T304774, JN1CA31A1T104438

My vin JN1CA31DXYT7*****. I think my VIN comes after because it is the same up to D1 but mine is DX. Am I right?

Can some help here? Confused
My service center sucks and I don't want to leave it up to them to decide wether the car needs the repair or not.

Thanks

To test is your tranny slipping...

1) Let the car sit overnight
2) Find a slightly inclined road (preferably very light/no traffic)
3) floor it
4) when it changes gears you'll hear a prolonged shifting sound (higher pitch) lasting from 1-3 seconds then it will catch the next gear and lurch forward.

If you hear that sound, you have the slippage. (This applies to everyday driving not only the method mentioned above) The above method just makes it more likely to slip.
