Ok.. so I am having an issue with my girlfriends car. Now this isnt a honda its a 2000 pontiac sunfire. but I am really scratching my head about whats wrong with the car. Here is the situation.
The car is having issues shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd into 1st. Only between those gears and it seems to be only when I am turning to the left. Or I should say it is only apparent when the car is steering toward the left. I added some power steering fluid cause it was low... and that seemed to help out some of the vibration issues she was having coming through the steering wheel but the tranny just feels like it is slipping.
Anyone else ever have an issue like this? Could this be CV join related? I am worried that the differential is screwin up...
BTW the transmission fluid looked and smelled ok. I did put just a lil oil stabilizer in it but the unit was already close to full so I couldn't add more than an ounce or two. I am thinking of taking it to get a transmission flush and new filter and see if that helps out. But I wanted to see what you guys think first. Thanks guys!
