tranny issues
I have similar transmission issue. Mine (98 esteem wagon), started slipping very slightly and hesitating from dead stop just a little bit and check engine light came on. I added some lucas tanny oil and took it to oil change place where they flushed tranny and replaced fluid(dexron III) Now it downshifts and still barely hesitates from dead stop. I took it to local suzuki dealer and they said code was for solenoid-they installed new solenoid which didnt fix anything, so they put old solenoid back on and started trouble shooting wiring for problems. Last Friday it started dropping in and out of overdrive at highway speed; this stopped later, but tranny issue still remains. Another mechanic told me having transmission flushed and filled with generic fluid could be problem. My wagon has 91k miles. I really hope you dont need a new tranny, because i would feel like i am on same path and find it very hard to believe that these fine little cars would need tranny replaced this soon. There has got to be an answer out there somewhere with all these smart posters.
