whats going Members & Entusiasts - I own a 2001 Acura CL with about 186k On it. I do all of my Mainttenance repairs as followed. Oil Change, Tune Up, Brakes, The basics ect. it is my daily driver and i use for work. Mainly Highway Miles. I put about roughly 30k miles a year. i had it for about 3.5 Years..
I ran into some issues with my car where im kind of clueless on whats going on. To avoid spending unnessary money. i would to get some suggestions....
:I check my oil level before turning my car on. Start it, warm it up, get on the road everything "Seems" Fine no check engine light nothing...As im driving everything is idling proper...but as soon as i get off the exit and i deccelerate my car automatically downshifts into random gears. from 5th to 3rd then it will shift into 4th to 5th as im slowing down. as im slowing down my car shifts gears. If i come to a full stop, it will not grab the gear and will stay nuetral. with the shifter being in drive mode. Its almost as if something inside the trans mission is getting to hot and is ceasing the gear.....but if i shut the car off and let it cool down for about 15 minutes. ill start the car back up and put it into gear...and then it grabs. i also checked my transmission fluid "which showed Brown Coloration" i know its suppose to be red....
MY Question is do you think the transmission is blown ?
Or Should i Try replacing the fluids in the tranny?
Or If i should repair the transmission
I did not bring it to the shop yet because of the Hours i work...
if i left out any information please feel free to ask...again i really do appreciate your feed back...
