Need Help With Tranny Problem...

[BJHEN]

I just talked with service rep at Ford dealer where I left my car yesterday. '05 with 27k miles and still under Ford Certified 3 months/3000 mile warranty.

Problem: several times after car has sat all night when started and backed up for a short distance, out of driveway into street, when I shift from R to D5 there is a lag. I feel trans. change from R to D and engage but when I apply gas car does not move immediately. The engine revs and in a few seconds the trans will catch and car moves. The best I can describe it, it's like a slipping clutch. This does not happen every time, but it has happened enough that I feel something is wrong.


Service rep told me that they can not duplicate problem and that all test and readings on trans. are normal. They want to give the car back to me as is. I told her no, it is not normal and I want the problem found and fix before it goes out of warranty.


Has anyone had or know about this type of problem? Any suggestions on how to get dealer to proceed with actually finding the problem.


Any help greatly appreciated.
