Weird shift.

[86HybridGN]

Have a question about WOT shifting, under normal throttle it shifts ok, but when I floor it, it gets close to the shift point and then feels like the tranny either slips or disappears for a second or 2 (engine rpm's jump) and then it shifts ok, does it from 1-2 and 2-3, only happens under WOT. Had to remove the stock dipstick and put in a Lokar flexible for the 2004R (as they called it) and have it filled right to the line when hot. Does this sound like a low fluid problem (will it hurt it if I add half a quart at a time to test it) or could it be a mechanical problem. Thanks for any help.

Put another quart in and see what happens. I believe if too overfull it will just push some out the vent. Maybe change filter if you haven`t already.

Ha Ha very funny Mr. Slo You put in the 350 and I'll cut off the mufflers Thanks Jim, I'm trying that, only in 1/2 qt increments. Have only added 1/2 qt so far, no difference. Will try more tomorrow. Changed the filter & fluid last week because of a govorner spring problem.

Hybrid, I to just replaced my gov. spring and my 1-2 wot shift felt strange, kinda slipped into 2nd. But after a day or two on the highway, the problem went away.My tranny hits hard as ever
Give it sometime on the road before you drop the pan
Good Luck, Dave
