| Re: Need Urgent Help
ill check first thing tomorrow about if i can do it with the car off, if i recall correctly i can 1-4 but not 5,6,R. but let me double check.
The cadillac dealership showed me documents of the repair and service work done at my V over the time the previous owner owned it, one of those service intervals supposedly flushing when i asked. i may have it done again
I dont think its air in the line because it wouldnt get better as i drive it, the air would still be there. definitely not a relative temperature thing, as today's worst-case-ever occured at 70+ degrees
i just took a 2 hour road trip from charlotte to raleigh, and like i said, the more i drive the car, the better it gets. when i got home and was off the highway and dealing with stoplights, the clutch felt like new, hard as it should be, and the car drove like butter. sounds like a tranny fluid thing like you guys said, maybe as it heats up with driving, it expands to fill a void (i.e. low fluid) but then again tranny fluid isnt supposed to expand. maybe after the fluid is circulated throughout the system it gets smooth. when it is smooth, the gearbox is almost S2000-esque
man i just hope its not a clutch issue. i dont think it is from what little i know about mechanics and having driven a stick for years.
on a good note, looks like the tranny work for replacing a clutch would be nearly identical to my 350Z if it did need major work, i just assumed it would be more
Thanks so much for your input guys. im gonna have the caddy dealer flush me and refill with the Dextron VI as Tony mentioned. Is it something that can be done by a pro mechanic at home? one of my roommates is a mechanic and i could help him if we could do it at home. |
