Re: hard shift when hot

yeah i wish i knew more into auto trans. ive rebuilt a manual, but autos i just dont like. i wish i would have made it into wyotech, but i havent followed through.

i do know a saturn trans tech, know he pretty well, so maybe i could get him to help out. but after hearing other cases envolving valves having issues, and most fall in about the same mileage as when this one started, im kind of leaning to the valve body still. ive found there are new valves that can be installed, but you have to drill and port for a bigger valve or something.

this problem steadily got worse and worse (you could barely start to feel it shifting), so thats why i went with a fluid and filter change, which then brought out the issue even worse. i knew back when i started feeling it shift, that it wasnt right because these trans are suppose to super smooth and just glide through the gears.

thanks for the help, hopefully i can take care of this before it becomes an overhaul situation, because i know due to the shifting, its ruined the upper torque mounts. i just hope it doesnt start tearing up other things.
