Also check the fluid when it is hot. If its low add some lucas trans stop slip ( its almost to 175k which is considered high milage) make sure u check it in neutral with the car hot and put the parking brake on. Have u ever gotten a trans flush? DONT if u have never. It will kill it instantly cause the cars used to that fluid.

I had parked her over night and now she's not wanting to start unless I disconnect the brand new Mass Air Flow Sensor. Any suggestions? 1 Answer
