My tranny doesn't do this...but when shifted into drive, it hesitates before fully engaging. I just wait for it. BTW, you don't know what junk is until you've owned a Ferd or Chebby. I've both and I've bought my last one. No more. Civics may not be perfect, but they're good. TC

yeah i wait 3-4 secs sometimes before it catches shifting to D. hey have you had problems with slippage in the higher rpm? feels like the engine is hesitating but i think the gear just isnt grabbing.

Not with my '99 EX @ 144,000 miles, thank goodness. I think I'll run some tranny flush through it before the next fluid change, tho.

FWIW, I don't think Ferd ever admited the Taurus had a weak tranny that was prone to failure before 100,000 miles. The finally strengthened it a few years back. I think there was a 'hidden' warranty on those that failed.
