When I shift to D5, regardless of whether the car is warm or cold, I have to wait a few seconds for the gear to engage before accelerating. If I step on the gas too soon, the car lunges and feels as though the tranny is slipping. Any thoughts? Thanks, all.

 

mine does the same thing, it's done it since i got the car and i am still on my first tranny so i guess it's normal

 

It takes at most 1 second for my gears to engage after coming out of reverse. It did the same thing on my 92 Legend. It feels normal, although I'd say a few seconds, like 3, isn't normal. Just my .02 cents

 

bad tranny

 

All AT cars have a slight delay when shifting from R to D and vice versa. Ya can't just go from R to D and slam on the gas.

 

it takes like half a second for me.... waiting a few seconds seems like there's something wrong with the tranny. JMO

 

I think youll need a new tranny soon

 

mine does the same and im on my first
