Replying to: juanr (Oct 19, 2006 4:52 pm) There isn't a dipstick, or a plug on the pan. You drain it by removing the pan, level check is by removing the sight level plug on the right (passengers side) on the case.

Okay well i own a 99 se 2.4 L 95,000miles and i'd say for about a 1 1/2-2 yrs now i've had a slight bang with the trans shift from 1-2. Well the past couple months now it has been "banging" harder when the transmission shifts and now does this in other gears too. I think i probally need a new transmission but damn i bet thatll cost me more than $1000. Should i flush and refill the trans fluid or would that not help? i heard that changing the Trans fluid will cause more problems with the transmission if the engine is already "use to" whats it there and the new fluid might cause it to go out sooner? The engine seems like it has to try too hard if i wanna go fast... i have to accelerate like im 80 yrs old 4 it not to bang. Anyone else have transmission problems with it "Banging"?

Replying to: damngrandam (Oct 26, 2006 3:10 pm) I have a 99 grand am GT with same problem. I drove it like that for a year before it finally died last week. You have a bad solenoid in the transmission that is not easy to get to. It will start banging harder and harder and will get worse in the summer (warmer temp's). I can't believe you have gotten a year and a half without seeing it get worse. Good luck

Are you sure it is just the selenoid. I have had this problem with my 2000 GA for about 2.5 years when it shifts from 1-2 under hard acceleration. If it is only the selenoid I am going to replace it asap.

i don't know much about cars but I do know about money. I recently took my 2002 grand am and found out it had a leak in the body valve cover of te transmission. Not sure I said that right. I was told it would cost 950 dollars to repair anybody know anything else that can be done.

I have a '95 Grand Am SE V6 with an automatic transmission and it won't shift out of first gear, not even manually. We checked the transmission fluid and it's fine. I've had this problem before but it just went away and now it's back. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I would appreciate any help.

#10 of 51 '01 grand am slams into gear.. by chrishere Mar 26, 2007 (9:44 am)
I have a 2001 Grand Am GT that just slams into gear. It has about 100,000 mi on it. It started out losing power occasionaly. Like on the highway the engine would sputter every once in a while for about a week. Then, I started the car and when I shifted into drive it just slams into gear, while driving it will continue to slam through gears. No grinding or anything just wham! Reverse seems fine, only the foreward gears.   Also, when the engine is cold ( first start of the day), the transaxle will shift like normal, but only the first couple of shifts....   Also, no, I haven't been driving it since this has started.   Appreciate any ideas, Thanx, Chris Replies to this message: burdawg (Mar 26, 2007 8:18 pm) chrishere (Mar 28, 2007 5:50 am) krs01grandam (Jun 01, 2007 1:48 pm) purduedueb1987 (Jul 17, 2008 9:22 am) juanquartloww (Sep 27, 2008 2:36 pm) foru2nv4 (Jul 14, 2009 2:23 pm)
