1996 Voyager Transmission Hesitation
1996 Plymouth Voyager. 2.4L. 4 Cylinder. 176K miles.
Now that I've got the engine problem fixed, I'm turning my attention to the transmission. When putting the vehicle into reverse there is a pause before the transmission "kicks in." This is most noticable on cold days when the delay can be up to 5 or 10 seconds for reverse (which then kicks in and jars everyone's teeth out). Reverse is worse than drive. Cold is worse than warm. Also, when driving, it seems to take longer to automitcally switch gears than it used to. And seems to hesitate just a tiny bit when upshifting. This is only noticable when it's cold. Is there any answer besides "the transmission is worn out"? Thanks in advance. -- Christian |

When was the last time the fluid/filter was changed? That's always a good
place to start - you can also see then if there is any/much metal in the pan/around the pan magnet. Also you could get the codes pulled to see if there are any logged faults. "Christian M.

I checked fault codes in relation to the engine problem I was having (different post). It didn't return anything that I think would be applicable to the tranny. Thanks! -- Christian >"Christian M.
