Well, the tank in my radiator was bad and I took it to some hole-in-the-wall place to fix it. While they had it, they called me to say I needed an "engine flush" as well, so I gave the OK. I got the car back and I noticed right away that my car was running funny. It reaches very high RPMs before it will shift, and when it does shift, it shifts HARD. It down shifts really bad, too (automatic, 4-speed car, by the way). It's as if my car is running like I'm flooring it all the time with the delayed shifting. I took it right to OilChangers and got the tranny fluid replaced, but the problem persists identically. I went back to the place that did the radiator / engine flush and they said "You need tran. fluid replaced." I said "already did that", and they said, "Sorry, we did best we can..." What!?!? Ok, so they will take no responsibility.... and nobody I know has any idea what the problem could be. Can anyone help me?? PLEASE!? I can't afford to spend so much money fixing problems caused by other problems. Thank you for reading my rantings!
