Q: FORD AUTO TRANSMISSION
Hi to all experts in auto transmission, i have a problem with my car stalling when placing gear selector into drive or reverse but not neutral. It occurs also when RPM is at its cold starting indication of around 1000 -1100 rpm. After idling for 2 minutes rpm drops below 1000 rpm and transmission operates normally, and selecting drive /reverse is very smooth and not clunky. Can someone please suggest something? Kind regards Ash
