My car is 52k miles and I recently had an issue arise when I stomp on it from a stop or just rolling, the car will go all the way to redline, hit the fuel cutoff, and drops to around 4k rpm before it shifts to second. It's weird, my car is still all stock

Was it you, that had their shifting dialed back ?

Rich

Yes just the 1st gear, it had the shutter on WOT shift which I thought was wheelspin/hop.
Wondering if the tune cured your TSB issue, and now back at stock (?) level you are feeling it.

Rich
I did not have this issue when my car was stock tho. Maybe this wont keep happening i need to check fluid and just drive it and see what happens. It did it this morning on the way to work but on my lunch brake i drove it to get food and it drove perfectly fine. Ughhh

Sounds like the same issue. Mine would have probably revd up alot both times it happened if i stomped on it. Check fluid level like I was advised to do.

Reminds me of when Brandon(ecoboosted facebook) had his PTU go. Random shifting issues that ended with him getting his shifts softened by Torrie. Seemed to only prolong the failure happening.

Best of luck with this, hope it's something simple like TSB or speed sensor.

I will have to do the PTU fluid change also I guess just to make sure. I was quoted $109.99 does that sound about right? Seems a bit expensive since I read on here people were being charged like 60 for a flush and fill but maybe the dealer does something extra, I will have to check.

Sounds fair....I'd pay it. Price ranges have varied a bit on this. Is that a BG cleaning process?

They actually "clean" it instead of just changing the fluid. Think there's a list here somewhere for dealers that provide the service.

I knew the best moderator on the interwebz would step in upon just the mere mention of a list....

Manu, if they had a Grammy ' s for top mod honor....there's no doubt you'd be top dog!

Thanks again for your great help. Words truly can't do it justice.

Today, when I come to a stop at a light or wherever with the car In drive, the car will shake bad with the rpms bouncing, been slipping into second a couple times too. I checked the fluid. Looks pink, doesn't smell burnt, go a few white puffs of smoke when I took the dipstick out, I'm sure that's normal though. Hmmm

Turns out the shaking is something fuel related. Engine running rough, white smoke out exhaust and strong fuel smell
