I took my car to a local shop to get the coolant and transmission flushed and filled. The mechanic took the car for a road test and thought the transmission wasn't going into gear right. He pointed out a couple of rough spots, was surprised I wasn't feeling them, and he said the transmission was probably a few months from failure. He apparently didn't know enough about transmissions to narrow down a few likely causes, ...



If the road test was after the flush, and the transmission did not feel right, I wonder if he may have put wrong ATFluid in. The Contiques use Mercon/DextronIII. I am glad everything ended up fine for you.
