Ok.. the first time.. I was like.. whater.. but it happened again tonight..

driving normally.. cruising.

hard lurch.. OD light starts flashing and CEL comes on..

car doesnt really shift out of 2nd after that..

turn car off.. OD light goes off..

next day.. its fine..

tonight.. left my car off for 1/2 hour. CEL turns off.

WTF is going on?

ATF is fine.. not burnt.. at the right levels.

sounds like transmission? Bad tranny fluid perhaps?

What would be 'bad'? Burnt? It doesnt smell burnt.. just changed the ATF recently..

-=UPDATE=- This is happening everything I start the car from a cold start...

no lurching.. just OD light flashing and CEL comes on..

Have you tried switching OD off and then going?

If it's happening from a cold start, remember the tranny fluid is also cold. So perhaps it's actually because the wrong tranny fluid was put in? Or perhaps it's not the right stuff?

Wait, did you put in synthetic fluid? I think synthetic is supposed to be thinner oil, so perhaps the fluid isn't getting to the tranny quick enough. Maybe a problem w/the tranny fluid pump (if there is such a thing)? Or tranny fluid filter clogged?

Just throwin out ideas...

ok.. when I changed it, I used generic dex III atf fluid . Bought a tranny kit (Filter + Gasket) and 6 qts of ATF. At the time, I didnt know bout the 3 qts in the torque converter.. I just drained the ATF pan.. changed the filter, and the gasket, put it all back together, refilled and that was all.

no problems.. that was a few months ago. Just recently.. when I installed my AWR front mount.. all this started happening... hmm..

I should go look over everything.. maybe I forgot to plug something back in...

or maybe the two times I went down and raced my car caused the tranny to die? No.. I dont think so.. its been a while since I last raced...

hmm dunno. Have you tried taking it in to a dealer or at least a transmission place to have it looked at?
