I have an automatic 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse. I recently started noticing it felt like it was jumping into gears when accelerating. I decided to get my transmission fluid changed, because it was black, in hopes that would fix it. It‘s been a couple weeks, but feels the exact same as before, the change didn‘t do anything. Do you think it‘s the transmission? Should I wait for it to completely break, or try to get it fixed before anymore damage happens?
Black transmission fluid (key word) and 118,000 miles. Most likely you have been driving the car with the original factory fluid and filter which were never replaced. Unfortunately, your transmission is failing big time, and you are 100% right fixed before anymore damage happens. **Replacing the fluid and adding additives now is not going to solve the problem. TRUST ME! If you decide to rebuild your transmission make sure in the near future to change the fluid on time. Good luck and sorry for delivering bad news.
First off did you do a transmission fluid change through a shop or did it yourself. If you did it yourself you probably did it all wrong. A complete change would be using a pressurized machine to cycle the old fluid out and cycle in new fluid. Draining the fluid and simply adding fluid to top back up isn't doing much. Your pretty much mixing new fluid with already black tranny fluid which should be a pinkish red color. So yeah either your transmission is going to crap or you just need to get an actual transmission flush. Including on doing the flush your probably going to need to replace the transmission filter. If thats all done with and has a sluggish shift still. Drain a bit of the fluid and add Lucas Transmission non slip oil and it should help. Also try using Synthetic Transmission Oil which helps for high mileage transmission.
Your transmission might be slipping in between the gear teeth. Or there might be some broken gear teeth. Usually you'll just have to put some transmission solvents in there to make the gears catch better and to also regularly change the fluid. But I would get it checked as soon as possible.
TaylorMade R9 irons they are cavity backed clubs that have had a lot of RD involved.
Why not buy a quality used set and invest in some lessons. that will help you more than trying to buy a game.
