The torque converter is bleeding down overnight. It is a nuisance but I would just drive it that way. May run 2 or 3 years before complete failure. You will probably not still own it then.
Check the fluid level and small if it's burnt (you'll know trust me). How many miles on the car? Most manufactures recomend changing the fluid and filter every 60,000 miles. If you have naver changed fluid and it's not burnt you may be lucky. Hit up your local "Fast Lube guys" they will change the fluid and filter for a reasonable price. Don't let them do a trans flush though, if it needs more take it to a specialist.
Check the fluid level, it is probably low.
ask a specialist sounds weird.
Hey everyone.
I drive a 1994 Toyota Camry. It turns on fine. It'll go in reverse just fine right off the bat, but as soon as I put it in drive, it's as if it's on park. I step on the gas and the engine revs. It takes around a whole minute of sitting in drive before the drive actually kicks in. Obviously it's a transmission problem. But other than that, I haven't got an idea what's wrong with it. This only happens after the car has been sitting for a good amount of time. It's almost as if it needs to warm up before it'll go in drive.
I'll drive to stores, park, come back an hour or so later and not have a single problem with putting it in drive. It seems to only happen if it's been sitting for awhile.
Any ideas? Thanks.
