    Not withmy wrx .. but we have a family minivan

    so here is the problem

    i just recently got a tranny oil change for it and it seems that the car slips .. and pulls slips and pulls

    kinda like bucking.. but its hard to notice.. but its deff there

    the gears engage fine.. and shift smooth


    here is an example of RPM from a drive


    and were trying to maintain 2500


    2500 2800 2500 2600 2500 2900 2500

    so normal, slip, catch, slip catch











    any ideas guys?

    What year/kind of mini-van?

    Also was it slipping before the fluid change?

    if it wasn't slipping before then not enough/wrong fluid = overheat?

    if it was slipping before, then you prob need a rebuild.

    Looks like someone put the wrong fluid in or didnt put enough in.

    I've seen those issues all too often.

    there's the problem.

    I deal with quick lube place's comebacks usually once a day.

    All of the issues are usually expensive....usually costs an engine and/or transmission.

    Make sure the dealership you take it to documents ALL of their findings.

    Most likely jiffy lube will be buying you a new transmission.

    you call the general manager of the store. Start at the top.
