i have a 89 sohc 240sx with an auto trans. i am going to keep it auto as its my daily driver.
ever since i got the car it has had this pause in the trans.
when i shift it out of park and into drive it takes about 3 seconds to engage, when i put it in reverse from park, it takes about 5 seconds to engage. when i put it from drive into reverse it too takes about 5 seconds.
it has no problem shifting through any gear while driving, nor does it shift irratically.
my question is, what can be causing this?
- a oil pump thats on its way out?
-torque converter?
-a simply tranny flush with filter replacement?
-a bearing or spring that fell out of place inside the tranny?
