Hi guy, I own a 1989 TC. It's been running fine until couple weeks ago.
When I start my car the first time of the day, I usually wait 20 seconds for the engine to warm up a little bit. When I go out of the parkin glot, I have to put reverse and then when I want to go forward, my transmition is hesitating for like 1 or 2 seconds and then it goes fine. I have checked the transmission fluid, it looks fine. if I let my car warming up for 5 minunte, it is fine.
Does anyone have any idea about what I should do ?

Thanks.
Jean

Yea, I'd start with throwing a set of plugs in it and see what happens.
