My transmission will not shift into sport mode. Any ideas what could be causing this issue?
How is the fluid? Did you look at it?
What fluid color, level, milage, when was last changed? How did this happen? Suddenly or slowly and progressively over time?
If you can provide some additional info maybe someone can diagnose, provide ideas.
My general recommendation is to replace tranny fluid. Several times!
Possibly with the addition of transmission flush chemical like Lubeguard's, or Gunk's transmission flush. I've had good results with Gunk's transmission flush product, used on 2000 Impreza L Auto with the 2.2L engine.
Obviously, the idea is to clean the tranny so if anything is stuck there because of accumulation of dirt, varnish, it will get unstuck and repair itself. If tranny is really dirty this process of cleaning has to be very gradual otherwise junk that gets loose may kill the transmission.
