Transmission Question

[kenji]

Here's my situation--

 

'95 xe-v6 auto. ~180K miles. About a month back, got the timing belt changed, I'm assuming the water pump got changed as well, replaced something to stop oil leakage (head gaskets? I'm not too sure), and had an additive put in the transmission fluid to make her shift quicker (R to D used to take 2 to 3 seconds). Ever since then, all of the gear ratios seem to have become shorter--the tach reads about 100-200 rpm higher than what it used to be (ex: 60mph used to be @ 2400 in final, now it's about 2600). Everything runs fine, just at a higher rpm than before--same mileage and what not, too. I was just wondering if this was any cause to be concerned?

Any other changes? new tires? Tires low on air?

 

I wouldnt worry about it myself.

 

Does the tranny seem to slip at all.

From your description at 60mph, it sounds to me like your torque converter is not locking in. Not sure where you live, but here in the cold it takes a good 10-minute drive to warm it up enough to where it will lock in again, usually over 40mph or so.

Does it Slip outta gear at all? Or shift hard?
