I've had my PF for 4 weeks it has 1800 miles and the transmission or clutch or something related is slipping upon acceleration. I compare the feeling to someone slowly letting out a clutch on a manual transmission and then popping it right near the end of letting out the clutch causing a sudden lurch. It feels like it's trying to grab the gear and then when it does after a seond or two it lurches forward and all is well after that. It occurs when
* I decellerate and then accelerate.
* When I decelerate to a stop, wait a second or two then accelerate.
It does not occur when
* I decellerate to a stop wait 20 seconds (like at a red light) then accelerate.

I have an appt with the dealership but thought I'd post up and see if anyone had any ideas.

Ok, so here's the dealio...there was a leak in the seal that sits "between the front of the tranny and the back of the tranny" (dealership's quote). I leaked 3 of the 10 quarts of fluid which was enough to offset the pressure and cause the problem. When asked why/how this happened they said it was likely a slip-up in the install of the seal at the factory. They say it's fixed and good to go

 

so how much did it cost having similar problems
thanks
