  • Hard Shifts, need help ASAP

    Well went to the track tonight, no new times to report. But anyway on my last run my 1st to 2nd shift was hard as hell, I'm talking break your neck bark the tires hard. So I park it for the rest of the night. When I leave it is still doing it but now it is kinda firm from 3rd to 4th now. What is the problem here :( I mean it is shifting like it has a shift kit in it Please help, and thanx in advance for any help :D

    I had that same problem about 3 weeks ago, my SES light came on, not too sure if yours did, but I hate to say it, its bad... I tok it to the dealership. They told me it was my tranny slipping, and that they needed to order a new torque converter. They say that sudden deceleration to acceleration will cause it to slip and then it has to work its way back to normal. It happened once or twice, went away then came back andit stayed along with the light, so if you can, take it to the dealership and get it loked t, but if not, i dont think it would hurt too much to drive it occasionally, aybe it will get smooth. anywyas, hope this helps, sounds mighty familiar to my incident. Good luck

      No SES light, well yet, but thats what mine did. It did it a couple times a few weeks ago and then stopped, and now it is doing it again :(

        One reason i dont like auto's [img]tongue.gif[/img]

        My dad had a 97 blazer and the same thing happened to him. He had it fixed THREE times (free the second two times of course) and it still never fixed the problem. His would only do it after a few hours of driving at highway speeds. Then when he would slow down it would do that 1-2 thing. He took it back to that tranny shop and had him kill the SES and then he took it to the dealership and traded it in. He now drives a 2000 Isuzu Trooper which he really likes. (mainly 'cause of the 100K/10 year waranty!)

        Best of Luck,

            what if you have the opposite problem in that it's shifting real light (e.g. hits revlimiter b4 shifting).

            (to compound the problem, the car reads out no problems from the computer)

                Maybe you could buy a new torque converter thats better than your stock one. :D
