Tranny going?

Hello fellas, Recently I did a filter/converter oil change on my 78K miles transmission and after going for a test drive to check oil levels, I noticed the up-shift from 2 to 3 gear is much longer than before the oil change.

I use Titan 3353 oil and a Mann filter. Level looks good. Any thoughts?

TIA.

Lou.

The oil and filter you used are common choices which is unlikely the cause of your latest experience of delay in up-shifting. You might find this article on the web about signs and possible causes of tranny failure useful.
