Hi guys,
I seem to have an odd issue develop on my AOD car. When braking hard or cornering it seems to fall into neutral. If I'm still rolling it will drop back into gear. It acts as though I threw it in neutral. If I'm back on the gas it will chirp the tires like a neutral drop (obviously I did not do this intentionally). If I'm coasting it just falls back into gear. No slipping at all ever. Trans feels very solid.
My first thought was low on trans fluid and it must be sloshing and sucking air. Dipstick shows dead on the full mark when hot. Fluid is slightly dark but smells good. I've only owned this one for about a month and this issue just popped up this week. My second thought was the filter fell off in the pan but, if I remember correctly its held on with a bolt? Its been a while since owning a non m5r2 car
Any ideas before I drop the pan? The car has 82,000 and I doubt the trans has ever had any service done to it based on the condition of the rest of the car.
