2003 T4R tranny questions.....

[videopuppy]

I have an 03 T4R with 100,*** miles.... the tranny shifts okay for the most part, but when you come to a stop, or almost a stop and get on the gas to go there is a lag in the tranny as if it didn't down shift all the way, as if it's still between gears. This is VERY annoying. I know I know, come to a complete stop and wait like your supposed to and all will be fine. Actually it does this sometimes when your in a turn as well (fluid level is fine). And on the highway if you left off the gas it seems to come out of overdrive and then goes back in when you get back on the gas.... is this normal for a T4R?

You think a flush might help this. OR.... since I bought it used can I reset the tranny computer to relearn, pull the battery or something?

Thanks
Dave

Thanks for the link. It's good to know it's a known issue, at least with the owners. Also, good to know that my trans is probably not dying but rather an engineering issue or faulty sensor.
