• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

1st Gear Hesitation

Poppin 'em thangs
03 GTP with 110k miles, tranny service performed about 15k miles or 18 months ago. After a 50mile highway cruise, I came to a stoplight and when leaving in 1st the car moved, hesitated and then bang, off it goes. Trans temp was about 175F. The highest temp I've seen is 188F. I checked the fluid and the level is right and it looks absolutely clean as new. Stock PCM.

This is the second occasion it has happened. So what am I in for?

Sounds like a worn input clutch piston or its lip seal. You can read about it here on Dave's website.
