Hi,
I have a 2006 v6 with 140k on it. this morning, my first gear slipped twice. i am trying to figure out if this is cause for panic or if it is not... here are the details.
-this is the first day there has been the slightest trouble with tranny
-car was cold, 21 degrees fahrenheit outside, regular drive, high range
-after .5 mile, trans slipped and revved to about 3000-3500 rpm with no power to wheels.
-i put vehicle in reverse, then in forward again, and 1st gear grabbed just fine.
-after 2.2 miles, from a stop the vehicle slipped again
-i have about a 30 mile drive to work but mostly on the highway. everything performed normally, including starting from a stopped position.
i am just a bit puzzled about this. 21 degrees is not cold for us--it consistently gets around 20 below where i live. like i said, everything seemed normal the rest of the drive. i am just trying to feel out if this rings any bells out there, since i live a few hours away from the nearest repair facility.
thanks in advance for any advice.
