When the transmission is hot, there is a 1 to 2 second pause when shifting from Park into Reverse. If I'm not thinking and step on the gas, the engine revs and the shift results in quite a jolt which I'm sure is not good for the transmission. If you just give it a little time, the shift occurs (you can tell cause the idle speed slows just a little), and things operate normally.
I've had the transmission fluid replaced with no effect on this symptom. I haven't experimented to see if the problem occurs going from Drive into Reverse, guess I should try it and see. Going from Park into Drive works normally.
Any ideas as to a cause and what I'm looking at in terms of a repair?
Thanks, Richard Davies
