Transmission not shifting properly

Hi,

The first thing I recommend is to flush the transmission cooler which is integral with the radiator. There have been issues with them restricting line pressure.

I attached the directions below. The first picture indicates the flow of fluid specific to your vehicle. The remaining pics are the directions for performing the flush.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below.

Joe,

Thanks a lot for the response, I greatly appreciate your consideration!
I flushed the transmission oil by removing the outlet tube from the "cooler outlet" and started the engine (jacked up) and put the shifter in D position and kept replenishing it with new oil. There was a pretty strong jet of fluid coming out of the "cooler outlet". I have also replaced the transmission oil filter. Please see the oil pan image with worn out metal deposit on magnets and some small chunks of metal in the pan.
If you still think that the cooler could be the culprit, I will go ahead and get it cleaned.
Very thankful for your response.
Regards,
Ashish.

Hi,

There is a lot in the pan. Are those small metal pieces in addition to what is on the magnets?

As far as the cooler, it wouldn't hurt to try.

Let me know.

Joe
