Hi everyone,
I've been dealing with this issue for about the last 30,000 miles or so. It started after a fluid and filter change around 195,000 miles.
On occasion, the transmission will hesitate/slip when I begin to apply gas to start moving after coming to a complete stop at an intersection. It typically only happens at stop signs where there is a brief stop/start. When I sit at a red light, it typically is not an issue.
I wonder if there's a problem where my transmission isn't fully downshifting into 1st gear as I'm slowing down? Outside of this specific issue, the transmission shifts beautifully and works well, and is original (not rebuilt). I've taken care of it and with the exception of a dealer flush at ~30,000 miles, I've only ever done filter and fluid changes in my garage.
I should also add that on occasion it seems like when I floor the gas pedal on the highway, it takes a little longer than it should for the transmission to downshift. It's almost like the motor and transmission don't know I've floored it for about 2 seconds.
Is there a solenoid that could be going bad and in need of replacement? I've seen reference that a bad throttle position sensor could cause some of this, but given this issue started around the time I changed the transmission fluid and filter, I'm inclined to think it is not the TPS.
Thanks in advance for any input or suggestions.
