Hi guys(& girls). It's been a while....car has been well behaved - till now. A couple of weeks ago my '99 Misty(2.5, ATX, just turned 71k) - on a 10 degree day, took off without warm up, stopped at light & when I tried to go again, she seemed to hesitate - then banged into gear. After that she was ok. I thought, perhaps, that I was still on the brakes while I was accellerating(I drive with both feet). Today,again, with no warm up(but around 35F), I went about 1/2 a mile & stopped on a fairly steep hill(facing up). When I took my foot off the brake & tried to go, she started to roll back(in D), & then banged into gear. When I got back to the house, I checked the tranny fluid level & it was low....added some fluid. Does this sound like a low fluid issue, a cold temp. problem, maybe a TSS issue, or re-build time(which would surprise me considering the mileage....though I don't know how the last owner treated her?). Thanks much, Pete
