Tannhauser Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 Sooo... Since I've had this money pit, I've had an issue with it seeming like the transmission slips on certain gradient inclines and recently felt it going down a hill as well. I basically have to feather the accelerator when this happens until it clicks into gear. I pretty much know exactly when it will do it as I travel the same routes alot. My driveway is steep as sh*t and no issues going up it. I know the tranny is made out of glass and elmers glue, but I have no issues with gear changes otherwise. I drive mostly in geartronic because I'm under the impression it uses a higher line pressure. Trans was drain and filled multiple times a few months ago with some Lucas transmission conditioner and a shift kit thrown in to boot. No CEL's or codes in VIDA. Someone mentioned similar issues with the uphill thing and it was a faulty brake position sensor. But I'm not having any issues with cruise control. Before I fork out for a new sensor, does anyone have any ideas? Quote
