#1204: It's Snowing in My Car
I had real good luck with tranny additives like "SeaFoam Trans Tune" With time, the tranny fluid gets oxidized making the little check valve balls in the tranny valve body stick. Do a tranny flush, adding the can of Trans Tune. Do it again about 5,000 miles. I'll bet it will free up the balls nicely.
