1993 Olds Silhouette
3800 V6, auto w/overdrive
After the van has sat for a while, I have trouble getting the car into gear.
It used to be, to get the van into any gear, I would have to shift all the way down to L1, feel the vehicle thrust forward a bit, then I could go forward or in reverse.
Lately in the afternoons, since the temps have been in the 60's and 70's, that trick doesn't seem to work. I just have to wait a minute or so until it finally thrusts into gear.
Any idea what is going on?
Also, there is a sharp cloverleaf on-ramp on my route home from work. Sometimes, after getting onto the interstate there, the van will stick in second gear. It's a major pain in the ass, because the on-ramp is followed by an offramp less than 1/4 mile (totally unsafe anyway) but when it sticks in 2nd, it's hard to pick up speed fast enough.
