I appreciate the response. The fact that switching my gear selector to "L" works to get me into first gear for the initial "take off" definitely leads me to the transmission (as opposed to a misfire). I'll look ay doing a full fluid flush with good, quality synthetic fluid.

Last fluid flush was done by previous owner 35,000 miles ago. Unsure what fluid type he used, he just said "Synthetic". I thought about doing a few drain and fills with a good synthetic (Mobile 1 or Valvoline). I checked fluid level as you described... After driving up to temp, level pavement...

Good idea about using OBD to check what gear I'm in when these symptoms appear! Thanks for the reply.

Hey all, I have a 2001 LC with 318,000 miles. Have owned for 4 years now and never had any issues with the Transmission. Over the past few weeks, I have had an intermittent issue when cold starting (seems to happen more when it has been sitting for a few days). I crank it and place it in...

Yes! Worked great. Here's the exact product: Rust-Oleum 248658 Rust Reformer Spray, 10.25 oz, Black https://a.co/d/gYucHsI

Location?

I think the lean just changes based on the slope of where it's parked. It's definitely exaggerated when the ground is sloped down towards the drivers side (when the slope is towards passenger, it just sits closer to level).

Took another measurement today. It's actually only about a 1 inch lean. I think it really depends on the slope of the ground where it's parked... Which makes me continue to think "tired springs"?

I have not tried having something welded on.

By fighting the sway bar...are you saying that I would need to leave the sway bar connected? (since it's "pressurized"). Or saying that it would be a fight to get the sway bar disconnected?

Quick question for an old thread... I picked up a 2010 for the wife and it's leaning driver's side (left) about 2 inches. Unfortunately the KDSS valves are rusted frozen (probably never been opened) and one of them is completely stripped at this point. I've tried everything to break it loose...

I removed all of the skid plates and the rear bumper.

Did some searching and couldn't find an exact match to my question. Lots of threads on how to change out rear Springs (making sure to crack KDSS valves). And lots of threads about stuck/corroded KDSS valves. One of my KDSS Allen heads on the wife's 200 is completely stripped and rusted on. I...

I did! I spent a few weekends underneath and it looks great. I used a hard bristle drill attachment and wire brushes to knock off and loose rust. Then sprayed any rust with rustoleum rust converter (it's not a paint that covers the rust which makes me feel much better.... It chemically...
