ok.. this is now the 4th time this has happened. i havent been driving much lately (exams), at most once a day.
so i hop in, start it, drive out of the driveway, o maybe a km. stop at red light/intersection, accelerate from standstill around the corner, car moves a bit, then starts revving for 5-10 seconds, then clicks into gear, and off i go, sluggish for about 10 seconds, then back to normal. any ideas? its always after the car sits for 12+ hours, and always in the first 1.5 km of driving. the car is an au2 fairmont ghia (vct engine), and just pushing this side of 85,000 km... (s**t... 25,000 km in 4 months... nice work!) anyhoos, is this the end for the not so great auto box? do i finally have get my manual i have always dreamed of!? (P.S. if anyone has a 6 speed available for the 6 pot engine, PLEASE LET ME KNOW)

if there ment to check all the fluids which they should and the fluid is low.
why not relieve some stress if nothin else.

mine does the exact same thing, usually attributed to low trans fluid (or in my case a terminally fried transmission)
does your trans have any other quirks? selecting a lower gear (3-2-1) does nothing in my car, it just stays in drive.
