A/T delay response in Drive every morning

**neozeke** · May 17th, 2011 01:48 PM

Hi Guys,

I'm new with A/T cars... I'm driving a Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8 S.E.G. everyday to work... however, I'm having a delay response every morning when shifting to D (about 3 or 4 seconds) before my car runs... but after that, it works fine all day... can anyone help me on this??? pls...

I'm also looking to modify my transmission to make it faster (I want to make it run as fast as possible)... what are modifications that I need to do???

Thanks a lot!!!

before you run off every morning, warm up your engine first. check your transmission fluid regularly.

i don't think you can modify a/t transmissions to make it run / respond faster. mabagal talaga response ng a/t, hindi mo pwede pilitin/ stress ang a/t to respond like a m/t.

kailangan maingat ka sa shifting kung hindi sira na agad transmission mo and minsan pati engine support.

paano pong maingat sa shifting??? I usually just shift to D and then N pag traffic or stoplight... regarding engine support, what will be the effect pag nasira ung engine support?

thanks a lot.

like pag shift ka from D to R, hwag diretso pasok sa R, daan muna sa N kasi mastress yun tranny. ok lang yun D to N

a brandnew transmission would cost you around 400k

if nasira engine support mo, may kalampag/vibration/noise sa unahan everytime you accelerate and break or any sudden change in direction. made of plastic lang kasi yun engine support. the weight goes to your tires, parang pakiramdam mo napuputol na yun axle. your tire threads will wear off faster and the list goes on and on sa lahat ng matatamaan.

oh i see... wala pa naman kalampag... may naririnig lang ako sir na konting noise (tunog ng pasara ng pinto pag horror movies) pag nagbrebreak... pero tahimik naman sa pag accelerate and turn...

napansin ko din kaninang umaga, parang ang tagal nya mag shift ng gears... have you guys experienced this??? thanks!!!

Sometimes, using the wrong ATF does that. At worst, using the wrong ATF type will reduce the life of the A/T components.

siguro yun noise na naririnig mo sa panels. plastic ba interior panels? same din with our GE maingay yun mga plastic panels pag dumaan ka sa matagtag or sa humps.

you mean matagal response ng gear? sa ATF yun. usually sa casa kami lagi nagpapaservice kaya sila na yun bahala sa ATF na ginagamit. btw boss babae po ako.
