Hello all, Well I have had my mark VIII for about 7 weeks now. So far I love it! It has 82,000 miles. It was really cold today ( low 20's ) and I started the car and backed out of the drive way. When I put the car in Drive and gave it the gas. The car did not move very much. The RPMS went up but the car was slow. I know the transmission was slipping. I let ogg the gas and easyed back on it. The car seemed to do ok. All tho it did not feel right. After the car get just a tad warm ( the hand on the temp gauge moved) the car was back to it's old self. There was no slipping. So my question to all the car gods here. What could be wrong? Someone said to change the fluid. Still after it gets the least bit warm the car runs sweet. So I am not really sure. I guess it can;t hurt? Also anyone know how bad it is to change the fluid in that car? I could not find the dip stick. I knew the newer cars were sealed. BUT I did not know this was on a 1998.
Thanks Mike T.
