After running around for awhile and the tranny gets warmed up it stops downshifting properly when coming to a stop. So when I go again, unless I completely stop and wait like 3-5 seconds it'll still be in 2nd or 3rd.. I'm not sure which. Regardless, i have no go and I'm sure it's not good for the torque converter either.
Someone had told me about a solenoid or something like that, that could be the culprit. I know it's not the tuning because I've returned it to stock and it still had the same problems. Any ideas?
Hopefully its just something electronic. A trans shop can usually pull the pan and test the solenoids. I'd get ot looked at asap. I had a pickup that developed a similar problem due to a bad transducer. After fixing the problem 6 months later the trans had to be rebuilt.
Can you pull the shifter into first and have it start in first?
That sounds scary to do but I'll try.. If I can do this, what does that mean? I'm mostly an engine guy and I haven't had any reason to learn this stuff till now. This isn't gonna hurt my starter or flywheel is it?
When was the last time you changed the fluid and filter on the trans?
I bought the car around 60k miles and it's got 80k now. I haven't changed it myself but i believe it was done around 50k.. I gotta double check the papers. I've checked the fluid level and color and it looks good but that is something I should do anyways..
Blizzard , do you have a shift kit on your trans, like a transgo?

I sure hope not.. I can't afford that yet! If I have to though, I'd like to do it myself but I'm not sure if I can get the car high enough to get it out. If I could get the car on some ramps would I have enough clearance to pull it out the front? And how heavy are these? I'm curious if I'd have to get a proper jack or just get help from a friend and use a standard jack.
I don't think he means start the engine in first, I think he means go from stop with the selector in 1st, so see if you can make it work as a semi-auto. Sometimes I'll downshift manually if my transmission is being indecisive.

Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...
