Hi bunty83,

I need to understand the situaion better so would need you to provide me with more info.

1. Does it happen in all the forward gears or only in D3 and D4?
2. Does it happen when manually shifting to 2 or 1 position?
3. Does it happen even when operating temperature is achieved?
4. When shifting into 4th speed, does engine rpm flares slightly before fully engaging?
5. Does the D4 light blinks while driving?
6. Is the color of the trans fluid bright red or dark?
7. Any Check Engine Lamp ( CEL or MIL ) showing?
8. Any Hesitation or shifting irregularities, such as delayed upshifting etc?

Hi bunty83,

The symptoms shows lack of pressure causing the slippage and ! of the possible causes are the Clutch Pressure Control valve A and B.

A/T CLUTCH PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE "A"/"B" ASSEMBLY

1. A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve "A"/"B" assembly is located on transaxle. See Fig. 4 . Disconnect harness connector at A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves "A" and "B".

2. Using a DVOM, measure resistance between solenoid terminals. Resistance should be about 5 ohms. Replace A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve "A"/"B" assembly if resistance is not as specified.

3. Check A/T clutch pressure control solenoid operation. Apply battery voltage to terminal No. 1 and ground terminal No. 2. See Fig. 12 . A clicking sound should be heard for each solenoid, indicating solenoid operation. Replace A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve "A"/"B" assembly if solenoid fails to operate.
