Transmission Problem

60

Asked by Cnasr Jan 18, 2018 at 07:53 AM about the 1983 Chrysler Le Baron Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

During fall and winter due to the cold weather, every morning I have to wait 3 to
5 minutes after shifting the transmission to reverse until the car start moving
back. I had changed the transmission filter and of course the fluid but the
problem wasn't resolved.
Do you have any other suggestion ?

Thanks for your answers and clarifications, I will try the TransX before opening it. During the day it works properly, the delay is only in the first and second attempts when the fluid still cold. Anyway thanks again and I will try this quick and easy solution.
