pcm causing slip? - 11/11/09 08:06 PM

just got out of work tonight and drove home. the car was cold and when it is i leave the shifter in 3 so shift to overdrive wont kill the motor. well over drive shift happens at 45 and the car seemed like it wanted to shift into od while the shifter is in 3. it flared only acouple 100 rpms not much. my foot to pedal was light n it flared for a lil and came back happened like three times. there was no change in engine noise on any of the slips. when i got home i went through the gears one by one and they were nice and hard. im guessing electronical. like tach is going, pcm causing slip for ride quality. i figured the cold has something to do wit it. anyone have ideas????

English? Punctuation? It's probably because it's cold.

What do you mean by flared, as in your rpms were surging up and down? If so, that'd be your torque converter. Common problem with our trans.
