I'm having an problem with my tranny. It is ok when cold but when it gets hot, a have a 5 to 10 seconds delay when shifting from reverse to drive. Other than this it shifts like new and have no other issue. I went to the dealer, the mechanic test drove it with me and said to leave it like this. I did a 3x3 oil change and the problem is still there. Do anyone have the same issue?

Anyone?

Flush + filter
3 + 4 gear pressure switches

Goodluck! :-)

The flush is already done and i can't see why the pressure switches can help since the tranny shifts smoothly like a new one... maybe i'll give it a try

I had the same issue put the switches in and it is all better, the reason is when u shift to.drive it goes to 3rd gear first.

Ok thanks, i'll wait till spring to do it, it'll be easier without snow in the driveway, i'll post update then.

Yep alot of people have reported this issue. I have a slight delay myself. I did a 3x3 with redline racing fluid and the pressure switches. Didn't feel a difference. I guess this is just how the trans feels. as a comparison my GF had an 03 Honda Accord auto and her trans shifted very quickly. From park to drive was probably 1/2 a sec or less where my TL is about 2 seconds.

Is it only from reverse to drive or is it neutral/park to drive as well?

Reverse to drive and drive to reverse mostly. I'll have to recheck from park to drive when the temperature gets warmer.
In winter it is a lot better but in summer it gets annoying.
