i just bought this car and put a new engine and now after i put the new engine in it my transmission has a weird kick and a lag from going from 1st to 2nd but all the other gears seem fine except when i get on the gas it has a lag? the transmission has 182k on it. i was wondering if i were to flush it and put new fluids and add the lucas treatment would that work? thanks

 

anybody??

 

I have the same problem but with a 98 Ex 4cyl. I have done that and still have the problem. Mine goes away once the engine heats up some and also doesn't do it when it is warm outside. How about yours? I thought it could be a solenoid so I pulled them out and cleaned them which was needed but didn't help. All solenoids checked out as far as resistance specs.

 

u need check your selenoids maybe that the problem good luck

 

time for a rebuild.

 

It is worth checking the solenoids. It's relatively painless if you have an ohmmeter. Ultimately for me YeuEmMaiMai is right. I stopped by a tranny shop and a friend I know there said the problem is plugging filter, which you cannot service without removal of tranny, and then you may as well rebuild it while it is out.
