It only does it when I shift into reverse, back up (i.e. from a parking spot) and then shift into drive to go forward. It will slam into first when I step on the accelerator. It works perfectly otherwise....any ideas?
Thanks
Double check the fluid level, while it's hot and on level ground. Too high or low fluid level will cause a delay in shift engagement.. If the level is too high, the air from the frothing, or too low, the sucking of air for a bit causing a delay in engagement.
