#180 of 209 Sporadic Shifting Problems by nucorman Apr 03, 2009 (2:09 pm)
I recently bought a 2000 GMC sonoma 2.2 with an auto. After driving on the highway for 20 miles or so, when I get in town the transmission shifts really hard from 1st to 2nd. It also feels like the throttle is hanging a little bit. If i shut the truck off and restart it the problem goes away. It doesn't happen all the time, just every now and then. I have had the trans fluid changed and replaced the TPS sensor and am still having the problem. I would appreciate any help....   thanks Replies to this message: gonogo (Apr 04, 2009 7:11 am) nucorman (Apr 06, 2009 5:14 am)

That's what's happening to my S10, I had it checked out by a transmission specialist, it's not sending out a code, but it has the same sporatic not shifting into 3rd gear problem. Another easy way to tell, just look at/smell your transmission fluid. mine is black and smells burnt. The one place wants $2950 to replace the transmission, but I found a place that will rebuild it for a lot less. Your fluid is supposed to be clear red, not dark and cloudy. If you go to a transmission place they have a set of vials to look at, you can compare your fluid to the vials. They guy who sold me the truck said he checked the fluid and it was fine, what he did was overfill the fluid trying to mask the problem. It didn't help any.

Replying to: pinky6 (Apr 04, 2009 11:59 am) Your truck is a perfect example of some one letting it go, it will burn up the transmission. If caught early it can be repaired without complete overhaul.

Replying to: gonogo (Apr 04, 2009 7:11 am) The only code its shown is that the TPS was bad and I replaced that, but it still acts up from time to time. The odd part is if I shut it off and turn it right back on the problem is gone. The truck has 100k miles on it. Thanks

#187 of 209 99 s-10 4.3l trans problems by djslim May 27, 2009 (8:33 am)
I have lost overdrive and reverse. When I drive it now it shifts real high and real hard. I have heard that it could be the shift module or it needs to be rebuilt. I really dont have the money to rebuild it. If any one has any idea please let me kno. Replies to this message: gonogo (May 27, 2009 8:46 am) djslim (Jun 11, 2009 8:12 am)
