Thank you in advance. I have a 2004 RR HSE, when I drive it for about 1 hour or when it get to a normal temperature, from 2 gear to 3 gear, and 3 gear to 4 gear the RPM race before it change. If I shut it off for 10mins and then continue driving it would not happen right away. Can someone tell me what might cause this problem?

Generally I would say if only after warm temps you are low on transmission fluid will probably burn up your transmission if you keep driving it.

Thank you I will check the fluid. Do you think using the regular green antifreeze and not the recommended one can cause that problem?

Keep in mind that if you are saying the long life versus the older green, then this can cause serious issues... I always use the pre-mixed stuff since I don't normally keep distilled water around the house, and I always buy the stuff that lists it is compatible with all anti-freeze.

It's premix that I use, but i thought it might be a problem because it's not the dealer antifreeze. Someone told me the transmission valve body can cause that problem.What do you think?
