#22 of 51 starts to shift but wont follow through til i let off the acceleration by smoke3400 Dec 24, 2007 (9:33 am)
i have a 99 grand am se with the 3.4 v6 automatic... here recently i had my engine replaced wit an engine out of a 99 alero and now when im in heavy acceleration and it goes to shift it acts like it gets stuck in between gears and the rev limiter (not sure how to spell) kicks in and it just pops and bangs til i let off the gas and it shifts like nothing ever happened.... i changed my spark plugs the other day and it got better but its still there.... the engine and tranny seems strong but i cant really find out because of this.... if anyone has experienced this problem and has fixed it let me know cause im all out of ideas Replies to this message: wimbsey (Jun 18, 2008 5:58 pm) burdawg (Jun 19, 2008 6:14 am) gmpower85 (Oct 12, 2008 12:51 pm) Danny69 (Feb 12, 2009 8:25 pm)

#25 of 51 passenger side driveshaft bearing noisy by mcallan1 Jan 06, 2008 (5:41 pm)
Hey all, I have a 2000 Grand am gt. Has anyone ever had the problem of the right side driveshaft bearing growling and noisy? It recently has had both front wheel bearings replaced, with the right side being real difficult to get off. Wondering if this was the start of a bad transmission bearing????? And is it something that can be changed from the outside?, or does it have to come out and apart?????
#26 of 51 99 GA 3.4 Tranny Noise and loss of all gears... by ken74 Jan 29, 2008 (3:29 pm)
Hello all:   First a little background on the car...   I had just replaced the struts, rotors, pads, and front tires the day before this failure occurred. Where does this tie in to my problem? Well, it may or it may not. I'll get to that later.   The day after the repairs I was driving along at about 45 enjoying my new riding car. All the sudden the car tached-out as if I had knocked the shifter into neutral. However, much to my dismay, the car was still in drive. I coasted to the shoulder and turn the car off. After scratching my head for a minute I restarted the car and tried all the gears; none of them responded. I did however note a metallic-zipping noise that occurs in all ranges to include park.   I checked the shifter cable and it appears to be actuating the shaft on the tranny. The fluid is good.   Another thing I noted is that the whinning/zipping noise will go away above 2500-2700 rpm.   Any thoughts?   Ken Replies to this message: rhtrans (Feb 04, 2008 6:47 pm)

Replying to: ken74 (Jan 29, 2008 3:29 pm) If the noise is in all ranges then the most likely cause would be that the pump is damaged or the filter is clogged with debris from internal damage from somewhere else.

Replying to: tabbert32 (Oct 19, 2006 11:57 am) Hi everyone, hope someone can help me. I have a 97 grand am with a quad 4 motor and 5-speed transmission. (not sure of the mileage) Yesterday, all of a sudden it lost 2nd, 4th, and reverse. I can go forward but not backwards. Very strange, seems there is no gear to grab. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how much it might cost? It is a good car and I want to fix it. Email me at sharrahlameritech.net please.
#30 of 51 No Transmission Filter! by alan81959 Mar 24, 2008 (2:26 am)
I have a 2002 Grand Am SE with a 2.2L, 4 speed auto. The trans started acting up last week so I took it to the dealer. they checked and said the trans gave an "internal failure" code. I replaced the trans, much cheaper than rebuilding. I took the old one apart for recycling purposes. When I took off the pan, there was no filter! It must have come from the factory that way. 95000 miles and then it goes, imagine if it had come with a filter how long it would have lasted. Replaced the filter and fluid in replacement even though it had only 34000 on it. Any ideas what I could do now? This cost me $800. Can I go back on GM? Any thoughts and advice are greatly appreciated!
