| It's a hydraulic clutch, and I don't know why that makes it any less adjustable than any other clutch. Granted most clutches don't have a huge range of adjustment, but my mechanic said that he could adjust it somewhat. There are wet clutches and dry clutches, but that is a whole different subject. | |

I have a 2003 Aerio SX AWD with the 4 speed Automatic transmission. I have had two problems that seem to occur more when the car is cold. The car will not shift into 4th gear until the engine cool light goes out. The dealer told me this was normal but I have had this car since '04 and I don't remember it doing this until about a year ago. Also the car will not always shift into the low gears from a stop. I can manually do it this some times causes a code P0717. The dealer checked the wiring and then decided that the Transmission Control Module was bad and not covered under the 7yr/100,000 mile power train warranty. The cost is $770 plus programming and installation. There is now way I can spend nearly $1000 to fix this. Has anyone used one from a junk yard? What years and models would work?

Replying to: bindy (Feb 08, 2008 7:49 am) I have a second set of steel wheels 14" for snow tires. I run snows for two winters and then run the next spring and summer to finish them off. Last summer I bought my first replacement 15" tires for summer use. Driving habits, tire pressure, and alignment all affect tire life and driving habits drastically affect brake life. I hope you don't have other problems with your car. |

Replying to: dkarasin (Mar 28, 2008 5:40 am) When I got my car back from the dealer I read the warranty information. The manual states that the Traction Control Module (TCM) is covered Parts & Labor for 7 years / 100,000 Mi. I wonder if that will fix the problem. |

I have a 2003 Aerio with 77.2k miles on the clock. I'm trying to resolve a conflict between what the manufacturer recommends and what every other resource on the net suggests. My maintenance schedule says that the A/T fluid does not need changing until the 105k mile mark. Since the fluid level in the transmission case has not changed at all since buying the car off the lot new (wow), I'm inclined to go with that. Everybody else is stating that the transmission should be flushed every 30k miles. Am I the only person here who hasn't changed the fluid yet? If you chose a more frequent interval to change the fluid, was the motivation precautionary or because of a specific issue? -d

Replying to: carthell (May 11, 2008 8:39 am) That flush at 30,000 is a bunch of crap...it is made by repair facilities to generate business. I had 3 Toyota's and I ran them for 400,000 miles and changed fluid every 100,000 miles. I have 2 Chevy Cobalt's one with 100K on it and one with over 200K....I change them about 90,000 since Cobalt has no stick to check the fluid (yeah can you believe it, no tranny stick). My Aerio is an 06 AWD with only 12 K on it....I changed the fluid in the rear as recommended at 7500.....but I do not intend to change the trans fluid until close to 100K. One thing....if they drop the pan to change the fluid and filter you will still have dirty fluid in the torque converter which is why I recommend the "flush" where they hook it up to a machine and all of the fluid gets changed. Unless the fluid is dirty or discolored I would wait until close to 100K to change the fluid if it were me. Changing trans fluid at 30 K would be akin to changing oil at 2000 miles. Hope this helps.

Replying to: rprez8 (Jun 02, 2008 4:42 pm) Sounds to me like the plugs need changed...maybe air filter as well. Of course it could be a low voltage condition (check alternator output); but I really feel it is plugs.
