The other day she said it stopped shifting into overdrive. I took it out for a spin and noticed when you put the shifter into drive, it doesn't down shift into first or second. If you put the shifter into first it goes right in, same with second.
It's got around 85,000 miles on it, we bought it used about 10,000 miles ago. I put a filter kit in it but didn't do a trans flush. Just filter and fluid. No change.
Without trying to sound like too much of a tight wad, (I'm a tight wad) is there something else I can look at before bringing it in to a pro???
I've not been having the best of luck with autos lately. When it rains it pours I suppose.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
