Delay going into reverse
I noticed that after my car had about 10 or 15K that my auto tranny took longer and longer to engage into reverse. The tranny seems to shift OK when driving and the car shifts and drives great, but whenever I back up, I have to wait for several seconds for it to engage into reverse. It is especially bad when the car is cold. Is this normal and is there any thing that can be done to improve this? How many have noticed the same thing?

Mine does the same thing, and when it does engage it engages with a pronounced 'clunk'. I hoping its somewhat normal since mine has been doing that for a long time now.

They said the air hissing sound from the leaking brake booster on my car was normal.
I'll trust dealerships when hell freezes over.
Just for comparison, my '03 TL-S has about 33k miles, and there's no apparent delay in reverse engagement.
