I'm having this seemingly random problem with my transmission (I think) on my AWD Torrent base. All of a sudden, the RPMs will jump and a couple of seconds will pass before the transmission slams into gear. The only consistent things I can say are:
1) This doesn't happen when the car is cold
2) This doesn't happen when climbing a hill
3) WHEN it happens, the car is going on a flat road or slightly downhill
There is no Check Engine light on. I did take a video of the problem occuring and I noticed something that happened too quick for my eye to see. This is the order in which it happened:
1) Suddenly, the RPM gauge jumps from 3,000 to 6,000 without the trans going into gear
2) 2 seconds later, the transmission slams into gear.
3) As the transmission engages, the Traction Control Off light BRIEFLY (.25 second) flashes on and then off
I see numerous entries on AF33 transmission issues, but I can't find this among them.
This seems to happen randomly and I cannot replicate it for my mechanic (he'd have to drive the car for an hour or so).
Anyone have an idea what's going on and how to fix it?
