    a few weeks ago when it started getting colder out my transmission started acting up. in the morning at first it wouldn't shift into second until the end of my road, which meant i would hit 5k rpm before it shifted quite hard. now however it will get to around 4 or 5 k and then will just disengage the clutch. i can rev the piss out of it until it finally catches into second but i dont want to do this because...well its terrible for a car with 146k miles on it and i feel bad for the neighbors with my new exhaust i put on it. i would like too know if any of you have any solutions. i have checked the fluid and while it is at the max line, it also has bubbles in it which i'm assuming is NOT a good thing.

    Bubbles are bad. Usually means it's frothing... or a channel plate gasket has a leak etc. Which would let pressure bleed off. Pressure that is needed to shift.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
