2008 V6 Transmission No Reverse when HOT
Hello
Hoping someone can help me out. My 08 V6 FWD tribute (150K KM) has lost reverse when Hot. It's strange, in the morning when I start the car I can put it in reverse and feel it catch and back up with no issues. But if I drive the car for 10 minutes it's a completely different story. When hot the car doesn't feel like its catching when I put it in R at all, and I have to rev it pretty high to feel anything at all, but I've only done this a few times for verification purposes as I suspect it is not doing any good for the already problematic transmission. I did a quick trans oil change (about 4 liters came out and topped back up with Mercon V), but that was 1000km ago and hasn't had any impact on the problem. I should add also that it happened all of a sudden too which is really strange. It may be coincidental but there were a couple of bad days of snow early last month and the traction control was working really hard on my 30 min commute to and from work. When I got home that day, no reverse.
Any idea's or help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
