auto issues
Hi guys. I'm having a small issue with my auto transmission, when I'm in fourth an slowing down there is a slight shudder or knock when it drops back into third. Was having another issue a while back where there was a thud that would shake the cabin every once an a while when it was changing from second to first. Do you think my transmission is on its way out? I'm getting a minor service tomorrow and having my transmission fluid flushed, do you think this will temporarily fix the issue? Thanks in advance!

Re: auto issues
haha same problem with me (everyone's transmission is playing up lately!)
I was told to check both my engine mounts. My rear mount was screwed and I'm going to replace it soon to see if that fixes the issue, I would say that would be the case. Flushing my transmission fluid didn't have much effect.

Re: auto issues
Im actually going to have to agree with this troll. Again, ive had 1 20min quick job fix i was aware of, but apart from that my car has never missed a beat - whats with all of your sh*t boxes breaking down?silverGPX wrote:FTO's are a reliable car, what are you guys talking about?!

guess the scale goes like this
my car > an average car > non reliable car > FTO's > Shitboxes > shitbox FTO's > something worse > something worse > something worse > something worse > Matt's FTO on a good day >something worse > Matt's FTO on an average day (unfortunately ive only got 60k characters so i cant do this to get to on a bad day but u get the picture matt


Maybe it wont break down as much when you throw my wheels on? getting chink's soon so mine will be up for grabs - maybe u should get my GPR wing while your at it, least your car canyt get any worse yea?

Check your transmission oil first. Is it red?
