Well here's the story....I drive a 99 4dr 4 cylinder and my 1st gear started slipping and shifting hard just after 100,000 miles. I hit 100,000 in october 2008 and now i sit at approximately 117,000 miles.....I was expecting my tranny to be fried by now but nothing has changed. 1st gear still shifts hard but it has not progressively gotten worse. I dont have a problem with any other gears and 1st only shifts hard to 2nd going up. This leads me to believe that the tranny may not be dying.....Any solutions? I heard once it start slipping it gets worse and u only have like 5,000 miles left or whatever. I have changed the fluid only twice since i have had the car. I got the car in 05. I changed it after 100,000 miles and then again last week. The first time I changed it, the fluid was black. Last week its was brownish red. Im just confused as to if the tranny is dying cuz nothing is getting worse, its still the same. I need some insight and advice. Thanks in advance....
