chasing some shifting issues
Alright so this has been somewhat intermittent for about 2 years and its really starting to become noticeable every time I drive.
Rewind to when it started I was getting an occasional surge when slowing to almost a stop then pressing the gas again. It wasn't every time and only a little noticeable.
As time went on it got a little worse and I decided to have the fluid and filter changed. This seemed to resolve it for the most part for about 3/4 of a year and then it came back. This time much more noticeable. I tried greasing the driveshaft which didn't do much. I this past march ended up just doing a full fluid exchange (13 quarts) with valvoline maxlife which seemed to completely resolve it. I couldnt even feel the shifts. About 3 weeks later though it came back and I've been chasing this issue since then.
Now its a whole mix of things. I get the surge with the rolling stops and 1-2 is pretty harsh. Like you feel the car move a little on the shift every time. Other shifts are fine until OD. Sometimes it shifts into OD fine other times it sits at 2k rpm and almost feels like its bogging down then the rpm jumps up about 100 as it shifts into OD.
I am also experiencing what can only be described as a on and off vibration in the gas pedal at times whether I'm driving or stopped. It isn't terribly noticeable but its still there.
Does anyone have suggestions on this or have experienced something similar? I've already checked the level of the trans which was a little low at one point but other than that its been at the right level. I'm not sure if this is an issue with maxlife or something else.
