When car is cold or has cooled for three hours, it will go in reverse almost normally, ( it takes a few seconds to engage). When hot, reverse is almost non-existent, if I rev to 4000rpms it will creep back on a flat surface. (This an automatic tranny)Also when going forward and engine is hot or cold, sometimes second gear clunks-slams into gear; other times it is smooth as glass like all the other shift points. I cannot seem to find any consistency for duplicating the clunk-slam 2nd problem. These problems have continued through a fluid flush and filter change, even added the Lucas tran treatment, which added a whine from the tranny at cold/ cool tranny times at shift point and a more pronounced clunk-slam 2nd shift. What in Sam Hill is going on?!!
