Hello all,
On my way to home after work, after a stop, I noticed shifting was VERY hard. By hard, I mean not smooth..and slow to upshift.
Thankfully it was close to home so I stopped, and checked the fluid. It is brown almost like the engine oil. I've driven this car for 80k (194k current) and it has alwyas been pink.
I had an oil change less than a week ago..but how can one add transmission fluid by accident??
(The engine temp was a little higher than normal when I finally arrived..but it may be unrelated.)
Getting closer to home, it became worse shifting. I'm afraid to drive and think it's safe not to drive at this moment.
Please help.
edit: I forgot to mention at the same time the harsh shifting appeared, I also hear a noise that changes its pitch with rpm.
