The dipstick is the place to start. How full is it, how does it smell,
and what color is the fluid if you put it on a sheet of paper?
Why would -you- shift into D4 ? Don't you just leave it in D4 and let
it shift for you, or is that because you climb a lot of hills? When you
got the car did you change the ATF, and if so, what brand did you put in?
