First off im new to the site, and wanna say wats up to everybody. But to get to the problem, I have a 2004 endeavor. Some months ago i started experiencing the shutter problem when goin between 35-45. Then when it started gettin really cold outside, i would have to let the truck warm up to get it to engage in drive. (I have noticed those two problems are quite common) And just friday, after driving for about 2 minutes and going about 30mph my tranny just stopped responding. So i pulled over and checked fluid and it was fine. Looked under car and it wasnt leaking, but i got in car put it in drive and gave it gas and transmission didnt respond at all, the truck just rolled back. But after giving it gas I noticed that there was now a big puddle of atf. I havent really had time to look at the transmission. Just trying to see if you guys had any opinions on this matter. Thanks for all you help in advance

 

Im in college so i havent had any extra cash to spend on changing my fluid or filter. Although the several times I did check it, it wasnt dirty or low. But now after it has stopped working, the fluid is still at the right level but it has bubbles all in it and looks a little dirtier than it has in the past.

 

I have the same problem, you need to change de oil transmission or try an additive for aut. trans that resolve the problem for a while, but is almost most better changing de oil.

 

original symptoms pointed to shat clutch.

Bubbly oil? Snapped input shaft.
Drain the trans and look for bits of metal.

 

Did you ever find the solution to this problem? My 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor seems to be showing early signs of similar symptoms.
