1. Low transmission fluid: Check the transmission fluid level and top it off if it's low.
2. Dirty transmission fluid: If the fluid is dark brown or black, it's time for a transmission fluid change.
3. Faulty transmission filter: A dirty or clogged filter can restrict fluid flow and cause hesitation.
4. Leaking transmission: A leak can cause fluid loss, which can lead to hesitation.
5. Faulty speed sensor: A faulty sensor can send incorrect information to the transmission computer, which can cause hesitation.
6. Faulty transmission solenoid: A faulty solenoid can prevent the transmission from shifting properly, which can cause hesitation.
7. Faulty torque converter: A faulty torque converter can cause the transmission to slip, which can cause hesitation.
8. Faulty throttle position sensor: A faulty sensor can send incorrect information to the engine computer, which can cause hesitation.
9. Faulty mass air flow sensor: A faulty sensor can send incorrect information to the engine computer, which can cause hesitation.
10. Faulty oxygen sensor: A faulty sensor can send incorrect information to the engine computer, which can cause hesitation.
If you're not sure what the cause is, it's best to have your transmission inspected by a qualified mechanic.
