Auto transmission ..
Well lately I have noticed that my car shifts weirdly.
It's automatic btw, but anyways, after it "shifted" once, it's like stuck and wont shift again.
I was going at like 50 and it only shifted once, and its getting kind of loud.
Then when I step on the gas and went up to 70 or so and still won't shift (the acceleration was quite fast though, pretty cool) ... and it finally shifted after i let go of the pedal a bit.
So is it cause the transmission fluid is low?
Or is there some other problems??

it does this when cold no? if it does - because our tranny needs to get warmed up so it takes a while for the gears to get shifted because of the cold...happens to me once in a while...just ease up on the pedal man

Once in a while it happens.
But then somehow my car's fluids runs low quickly ..
Last year the guys done my oil change had to put in fluids(I think transmission), and my car was only 1 years old.
My car right now is only at 27k (2 years and 3 months now).
So yeah .. but since you said, guess it's nothing to do with the fluids!
Thanks!
