Re: [DML] Automatic shifting troubles

["Video Bob" <videobob@xxxx>]

I have a simular problem, except on my car (VIN 5278, gray auto)
it will shift from 1st to 2nd OK, but will not go into 3rd unless you floor 
it and then let off.
This only started happening the other day when it got really cold.
After about 5-10 minutes when it warms up, and finally goes into 3rd,
it is fine again until you let it sit and cool off.
I know that my transmission fluid is "burnt" and have been urged not to 
change it
until I am ready for a rebuild.
I don't know if MY problem is fluid related, or computer related.
