Tranny Noises and slow shifting
Hey guys,
I have an 08 base TL with about 53k on it.
My transmission is quite loud when shifting into reserve/drive at a dead stop. Also when I shift while driving usually when driving aggressively especially when using the sport automatic shifting it is usually very rough and shifting is quite slow. I have also heard it make an odd noise the best way to describe it is a squeaking noise.
I heard on here a trick about letting off the gas when shifting and that help makes it smoother but shifting is still slow. I know our AT is not exactly the best but should I go ahead and get the 3rd/4th gear pressure switches changed out? I also wanted to change my tranny fluid as it probably has the factory fluid in it. I'm going to be using the honda fluid only because I have an extended warranty and I know it will void my warranty if I use anything else.
I also noticed my car tends to shake a little bit when in 3rd gear on occasion which I assume will be remedied by the pressure switch change out.
I'm not sure if theres an actual problem with my tranny or this is just how the TL is.
