Replying to: ejprebis (Apr 06, 2009 4:50 pm) This trouble is a possible clutch slip which can be fix only by overhauling or the shift solenoids are not working properly, the S3 lite flashing on you means they are not working. Try flushing first and clean the solenoids by carb cleaner and smacking it on a flat board to dislodge the dirt. Then spray again and after which you ground the body of solenoid then connect the terminal to the plus side of battery (positive) and the solenoid should kick with a cliking sound. Strong sound means it is still good and a weak sound means still dirty or maybe out. No sound is dead solenoid. Good luck.

The clutch held for a while when pressure is not that much until it rose and push the fluid out of the clutch when the slip occur. If you don't have the S3 flashing green light the aforementioned statement apply. However, without the light you need the overhaul. Flashing S3 light menas the shift solenoid is not connected or not working at all. You need to flush and replace the solenoid. It will cost you around 125 USD plus the fluid, another 20 USD. Good luck.

Replying to: fingers3 (Nov 17, 2008 10:28 pm) Possible source of clink, clink noise is from your fly wheel where the torque converter is attached. Fly wheel sometimes got cracked or fractured..so when the car is pulling the noise is more audible or at idle. This, however, applies if the transmission is shifting/working right. You need a transmission shop to fix this trouble.
