Hello,

I have a 2003 V6 EX Coupe with 36,600 miles and the transmission
occasionaly slips when trying to shift from 1st to 2nd gear. I have
only owned the car for a month and it has happened to me three times
already. The problem seems to occur within a minute of driving the car,
where the RPM would rise when I apply gas and the car wouldn't go
forward. When this happens I would shift the transmission into neutral
and back to D a couple of times. The first two times I tried it the car
will engage and drive forward, but the last time it happened the car
struggled to go forward for like 5 seconds before engaging.

I found that there is a recall for this year's transmission and they
have already performed the recall service. Has anyone else experienced
this same problem? I want to see if I can get some input before I start
the journey of bring my car to the dealership.

thanks!

try checking the gearbox oil level, if the oil is low or is dirty it
will cause delay in engaging and slipping
