First, I did see this like 10 days ago, and had it in a thread here...but thought that as of today, every time I start the car, I now get the same notice to service the tranny.
I will run codes of course, but just wanted to add up front, that Fri I took it into a local trans shop, and asked for their own diagnosis. They did NOT hook it up to a machine but instead the owner of same drove it with me over about 10 miles. We stopped on side concessions and he booted her; braked her hard, shifted thru all the gears and the caddy was working perfectly. Not a slip, slide or overrev -- not an identifiable issue with the tranny, he said.
Today (with a hole still in the plenum and 2 motor mounts broken btw), she runs terribly! At a full stop at a red light - she "bucks" ahead with my foot heavily on the brake and I think that's a tran issue not the plenum....and when I get to say like 2000 rpm, and let off the gas, it's like cruise is on...she needs no gas to stay at speed. SLowing, used to mean that I'd "feel" her drop down in gears but no longer....sigh...
Will run codes and report back...
...sigh....
