When the engine is first started/driven, the trans. will not shift from 2-3 correctly. It goes into a no-drive condition (almost like shifting into neutral), then "catches" after a few seconds.
If I lock out overdrive, it seems to lessen the problem, maybe it will still do it, but usually will shift correctly. Once car is completely up to normal temp, it doesn't do it any more that day.
1997 Gen II LSC with 121,000 miles. Changed to Mercon V many moons ago ( have had 2 flushes since changeover from reg. Mercon)
My question: Will installation of shift kit solve this problem. If so, what kit is recommended? Can I do it with car in driveway? No garage available.
