All that useless talk about engine swaps, my C4 just started acting funny. Figures. Driving home last night, I felt like it might've been shifting wierd, like maybe it couldn't find 2nd or 3rd or something. On the back stretch of my neighborhood, I got it up to around 60, but never really felt it go into 3rd, but then again I wasn't convinced it wasn't going into 2nd way too early...disguising what I thought was the 1-2 shift as actually being the 2-3 shift. But I don't mean to speculate.
This morning I idled through the neighborhood. The at around 15-20mph the engine was idling way higher than normal (sorry, no tach), like it really needed to shift. I gave it a little gas, and it finally did shift. Through a few stop signs, same thing. When I got it out on the street and actually gave it some gas, I think it would try to shift into 2nd (a bit too early, I think), but it kinda missed or something, because it would have that "hesitation" (I use that term loosely here) as it is shifting, but then the RPMs wouldn't drop...indicating that the shift never really happened. Then at higher speed it would actually complete a shift. But I don't know if it actually made it into 2nd there, or if it went straight to 3rd. I couldn't get it up beyond 45 mph on my way into work, but I never did feel that last shift. Maybe it already happened, maybe I missed it. Something seems amiss.
Geez I hope that description made sense. Maybe I'm just low on ATF??
