, putting on about 8k a year.
To start with I do a lot of maintenance on my car regularly. Particularly now that's it up there in age, I have had to change radiator, starter, water pump, belts, plugs, brakes etc. All have been replaced in the last few years.
In the last week, I have had my car stall twice in the same way, it happened when I am leaving a parking spot and I go in reverse to back out, apply brake to switch into drive, and as soon as I switch into drive my engine immediately turns off. I have to turn the key again to restart and it does so.
I have driven the car with O/D on and off and it switches just fine.
The transmission oil is fine both in amount and color. My oil was low which is odd because I just had that replaced a couple months back after I discovered an oil leak (repaired, timing, serptine, cram and crankshaft seals replaced additionally brakes pads, new tire, and alignment). I topped that off with slick 150 and now have the correct amount of oil.
I am wondering is this a pressure plate problem or what should I check next. The only other problem that could be connected is a occasional slight clunking noise when I shift from park to reverse.
There are no warning lights coming on.
Other than those 2 weird stalls, nothing has been abnormal in driving and I have been driving the car daily to work etc since this happened.
