Ok several weeks ago I changed my radiator, leaking in the plastic on the passenger side. No problem here.
Well the transmission has now slipped twice in the last two weeks on takeoff, sort of like when you ride a clutch with a stick shift, last about a second or so then picks up smoothly.
I've had the SUV less than a year and it still shifts good other then those two times. So I checked the fluid and it seems thin and is definitely burnt and it's also over filled about an inch on the stick. Don't know how much that would be.
Anyway I want to get a full filter and fluid change but I have heard horror stories about thing getting worse after wards? Oh we have 160,000 mile on it. Any idea what a full trans tuneup would cost?
Thank.
