"Clutch slippage" on autoboxes Cavalier - Richard Huddleston
I've got 4 Cavalier #3 autos. On two of them (60k miles), if you change up manully (as per advanced driving), there is a "slipping clutch"-type effect and sometimes delay in power take-up. There's no problem if left in Drive mode, or changing down. The other two were always fine. There's plenty of fluid in the boxes, and it's recently been changed.
Thanks in advance.

I had a few auto's, best left in drive all the time, whats the point of an auto box if your going to change manually?

To save fuel by using the box to help you slow down. To help when going down a steep hill, ie, engine braking, just like you do with a manual box.

That could be down to overfilled box.also if checked fluid capacity is missread may be lower than you think.Not saying you havent done so but make sure it it done by the book.Both can cause this effect.if this wont help get it checked out by a specialist.
