Trouble shifting into drive and reverse
I have a 95 Camry, 4cyl 2.2. In the morning when I get in to go to work, sometimes the car hesitates when I shift into reverse or drive, it's almost like I'm still in neutral. I've found that a very gentle press on the gas pedal will make it slip into gear when the RPMs come back down to idling speed. It almost never does it later in the day, it's usually after the car has been sitting at least overnight. After I get going, it works great, no rough shifting or anything like that.
I had the transmission serviced (I'm assuming that just means the fluid was changed, maybe flushed) about 15k ago, though the car sat unused for a number of months between then and now (had to wait a couple months for warm enough weather when I could replace a bad master cylinder).
My uneducated guess is that old fluid is making a solenoid stick or something along those lines. I'm planning on doing a drain and refill soon and hopefully that will fix it. Then from searching around on this forum made me wonder if it was something like a shift cable that needed to be replaced or something.
What do you think?
