I have a 2000 Impala LS with 96,000 miles on it. Recently I have started to have some problems with my transmission. From a stop, when I give it gas, it's like the transmission won't engage and start moving the car until the engine is running around 2000 RPM. I checked the fluid level and it was a little low (but not to the add mark). I filled it up, but I'm still having the same problem. It only does this in Drive and 3rd. When I have it in 1st or 2nd, it doesn't have any problems. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

Replying to: level (Oct 26, 2008 12:55 pm) Purchase dealership replaced the original tranny at 12K miles due to first gear slip. Same initial slip problem became bad again at 49K. Took it to a different local dealership this time around and gm decided to replace the whole tranny again. (warranty is 100K on drive train in 07). Two days later same slipping from a stop. I took the car back and tech drove and recreated the problem. He said that the prior tranny was replaced due to a stripped 4th gear (not even the reason that I took the thing in). One week later, gm is sending the now 4th tranny to be installed into this car. They tore down the new one (#3) and cannot find what part of the new one is failing. (I don't think it is the transmission, it seems like it must be something else - computer etc., but I am just guessing) Local dealer was supposedly working with gm's technical support to get this resolved. Will see what happens when #4 is installed. Only other issue is ISS. I paid out of pocket to replace that when tranny #3 went in at 49K. ~$250 dealer did the work. pw

I changed my transmission fluid in my 2003 Chevy Impala with only 53,000 and now after 1 week, I am experiencing a hard shift into second and vibrations at around 35 miles an hour. Can someone give me some advice....It was running great. I kick myself for changing the fluid. I went to a Valvoline instant oil change center. They told me it was because the fluid may be low. They added another pint after inspection and it still does the same thing. Please help!!!

| I've been having a problem with my tranny for a while now. I bought it new in July 06 and about 8 months ago I noticed that when I would back out of my driveway and then shift into drive the tranny would,what I think is slip, and suddenly jerk into gear as I stepped on the gas pedal. It doesn't do it all the time, but it does do it. I took it to the dealer and they were no help at all. They gave me the old song and dance that they drove it and it worked fine and that there were no codes present. So basically nothing happened. The funny thing, not so much, was that later that day when I backed out of a parking spot it slipped again. I also have noticed that when stopped and starting to accelerate the Rpm's seem to get up around 1800 until it actually feels like the car starts to move. I want Chevy to man up and fix this problem. I don't abuse my cars at all and the thing that irritates me the most is that I haven't even turned to 23,000 miles yet and my warranty will be up in July. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! | |
