hay guys i have a 04 coupe 5AT and i think i have a tranny problem sometimes after stoping at redlight for example after it turns green i press the GAS the RPM goes up but the car does NOT move then suddenly it kicks in and the car just takes off. im scared to drive it what if it happnes when theres a car in front of me and this is not all the time only sometimes im takeing the car to dealer this week but anyone know whats up.

 

mine is like that in the 05' coupe, i thought it was supposed to be like that...

 

anyone?

 

tranny problem huh...? maybe a doctor can take care of that surgery for you

 

no seriously i need help. lets not make this a joke thread.

 

flush ure tranny

 

Could be faulty throttle position sensor.

 

Reset the ECU... it sounds like a shift from neutral problem to me. It's a do it while you sleep fix so it's worth a try.. right?

 

If I Unplug The Negetive Over Night For The Ecu Reset Wont That Whipe Out The Radio Code And Ill Need To Type It In In The Morning When I Plug It Back In

 

Sounds like your tranny is slipping in 1st gear. I'd let the dealer do a complete checkup.

 

Follow the transmission fluid check procedure in your owner's manual. If the level is low, top of with the correct fluid (available at the dealer only). If the fluid level is OK, take your car to the dealer. Do not do an ECU reset. The transmission, just like the engine, has sensors that provide input to the computer system with error codes. If you reset, you will erase the fault codes and the dealer will not be able to fix whatever is wrong with your transmission. I have the service manual and the automatic transmission section is 220 pages long.

 

Oops. Don't reset! I didn't know but thanks for saying I was wrong guys that was a close one. What happened to everyone who reset the ECU for gettin more aggressive shift points???

 

Definitely shouldn't be much of a lag between hitting the gas and taking off.

Check the fluid....(don't lose the locking bolt that holds the d/s in). Make sure it's warm to check (not hot).
You could try an ECU/TCU reset overnight, It won't hurt anything to do so.-- (Battery disconnect 12 hrs.)

Let the dealer do a scan to find the issue.
