NOTE:
The transm ission electronics constantly monitor the
transm ission oil tem peratu re. If the transm ission gets too
hot, the transm ission will change the way it shifts to help
control the cond ition. This may resu lt in a slightly
different feeling or resp onse during norm al operation in
D (Drive) position. If the transm ission becom es hot

mission into gear may seem sluggish. This is due to the
transm ission fluid partially draining from the torqu e
converter into the transm ission. This is consid ered a
norm al cond ition and will not cause damage to the
transm ission. The torqu e converter will refill within 5
second s of shifting from P (Park) into any other gear
position.
