Automatic-Transmission Information and Maintenance
Shift Conditions
Automatic-transmission problems, which should be addressed immediately, can cause unusual conditions when shifting your vehicle. These include:
- Delays in engagement - Any delay greater than two seconds when you select “Drive” or “Reverse,” occurring before the transmission applies engine torque to the wheels.
- Missing shifts - Failure of the transmission to engage in any gear (e.g. missing first gear or overdrive).
- Harsh shifts - A slamming or very abrupt shift that can be damaging to the transmission and other vehicle components.
- Neutralizing - Marked by the vehicle suddenly reacting as if you moved the shift selection to the “Neutral” position.
