Hey everyone, I'm riding down the expressway yesterday everything is fine. I start exiting the expressway, and all of a sudden my transmission goes out? 2000 Intrigue GX, no warning, no skipping, no signs of a bad transmission; all of a sudden with a snap of a finger no forward, no reverse, nothing. Any Ideas?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have already tried the transmission protectant/lubricant and anything else I can get my hands on at the parts store. Hubby manages an auto parts store which helps. I also had read a lot about the Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid being problematic for these types of trannies. Hadn't heard of the switch, though. Will keep that in mind. Did unplug the battery for the heck of it, figured what could it hurt. Haven't had a problem since but it's only been a few days. The check engine light has only come on a couple times in the past month, and there have been plenty of hot & humid days in between, so it is pretty intermittant still. Going to a local mom and pop tranny place today to get an estimate, so will let you know what I Find out

Replying to: bayview6 (Jun 15, 2006 2:42 am) Yesterday my husband talked to the local GM dealer mechanic who said they may be able to "trick" the car into thinking it's running properly by cutting a wire somewhere. The computer is overriding where it shouldn't be or something? It supposedly wouldn't cause the car any harm, except when it would "act up" their wouldn't be any power towards the solenoid, which is causing the problem. Anyone heard of doing this? |

He said that the valve body needs to be rebuilt, including the TCC solenoid that is housed within it needs to be replaced. He was confident this would take care of the problem since he has come across this very issue with these particular transmissions on these cars. When he took my car for a road test, although he could not get it to start acting up to pull a code from it, he had it hooked up to the computer and when he looked at how the transmission was running, he could tell from the rpms and some other number that I can't remember the name of that it was, that those numbers proved to be just on the borderline of starting to be problematic. He said it's hard to say how long before I'd absolutely HAVE TO get it fixed, it could be another few months or few years, but that it would eventually need to get taken care of because it's a recurring issue with the type of tranny in my car. He said that with the labor (about 5 hours) and parts along with fluids, etc. that it would cost around $500. I told him that I didn't have the money right now, but would plan to give him a call within the next couple of months.
