Ok so I have a 97 grand prix gtp that has recently had some transmission problems.

For about a week before the main problem I noticed feeling some hard shifting and thought it was just related to some misfiring cause I know I need to change one of my coil packs. Then abruptly my transmission just started slipping.

Basically my car will drive for the first 10-15 seconds then it will non stop slip. The only way to get it into gear again is to turn off the car for about 10 seconds and turn it back on, it will engage right after turning the car on but the process will just repeat.

From the little reading I have done on this, Others have said it could be my control solenoid since that resets on each startup. I was wondering if anyone could confirm that for me and maybe give some guidance to where that solenoid is on my tranny. I know I have a pressure solenoid and a control solenoid. and if I am doing to do this I prob should change my tranny filter too I suppose.

My only purpose to doing this is to be able to trade this car in cause I dont have the time to fix the many small problems it has and its a gas hog. I would like to not have to junk this car. Thx for any help

ps. I havent noticed any leaking of fluids.. but just in case I added some dexIII & lucas stop slip but that showed no results. Also I am going to go borrow an odbII scanner to get some codes off of this thing..
