YOUR PROBLEM IS IN THE TRANSMISSION. THERE 'S A DEVICE CALLED A PCS (PRESSUE CONTROL SOLENOID) VALVE. THIS VALVE MAINTAINS PRESSURE DURING SHIFTING PATTERNS. IF THIS VALVE LOOSES PRESSURE YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE "SHUTTER/SLIP" SENSATION. TAKE TO A DEALER IF IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO YOU DON'T BEAR THE BRUNT OF THE COST!!

The problem is a known issue with the 1 to 2 shift at hard throttle. The fix is a repair of the entire 2nd clutch assy. in the transmission. There is a TSB about it released by Chevy. It will need that rebuild for the sudder to go away, or you can try and let off it at shift to stretch more miles out of it.

I have an 2004 Chevrolet Impala and need to replace the dashboard face. What are the years that are going to be interchangeable please?

Problem here with three and 4 gauge clusters

The Impala was available in two trim levels from 2000 to 2003. The base model came equipped with cloth bench seats, steel wheels, the 180 horsepower (134 kW) 3.4 liter (204 cu in) LA1 V6, and a 3-gauge instrument cluster.[40] The LS came factory-equipped with cloth bucket seats upgradeable to leather with center console and floor shift, color-keyed "Impala" door scripts and trunk badge, anti-lock brakes, traction control system, keyless remote entry, integrated foglamps, aluminum wheels upgradeable to alloy wheels, rear spoiler (optional on the base models), 4-gauge instrument cluster (with tachometer), and the larger 200 horsepower (149 kW) 3.8 liter (231 cu in) L36 V6.[41] Options available on all models included a sunroof, OnStar system, Driver Information Center with built-in HomeLink system, heated power front seats, and 16 inch 1990s SS-inspired wheels. All models came equipped with power windows, door locks, and mirrors. The rear spoiler was an option on base models, and could be deleted from LS models upon buyers request.

2005 Impala SS The 2004 to 2005 Impala SS came equipped with the 3.8 liter (231 cu in) supercharged L67 V6 engine.[42] It was rated at 240 horsepower (180 kW) and had been previously used in the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, Buick Regal GS, Buick Riviera, and H-body Pontiac Bonneville SSEI and Buick Park Avenue "Ultra". The lighter front-wheel-drive sedan was as quick as the vaunted 1990s Impala SS, with 0-60-mile-per-hour (0-97 km/h) times pushing 6.5 seconds, compared to the earlier model's time also showing 6.5 seconds (albeit 7.1 seconds on average).[45] To commemorate Chevrolet's long relationship with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indianapolis 500 race, a limited edition (4,088 produced) Impala Indy SS was offered in 2004, featuring black grille with gold Chevrolet bowtie emblem that would be carried over to all Impala models in 2005, various Indy logos on the exterior and interior, 17-inch chrome wheels, gauge cluster package, and more.

In your case Mercon V

Where is the oil pressure sensor on a 2007 Impala LS 3500 V6?

I think it is located near the bottom of the oil pan on the back side, you will probably have to drain the oil but I'm not sure. That is where mine is located however mine is a 2000 Chevy Impala LS.

Transmission slips

Hi there,

About the transmission slipping, which I have heard several complaints about, it might be an improper gear ratio code pop up and a gear slipping code popup. I would like to know in what gear it actually slips.

A common problem is also that the servo bores wear out and the servo piston gets cocked and breaks or the band just burns up.This could also be your gear ratio error.The fix is to drill out the servo bores and sleeve them. If you get an overhaul, which I believe any dealership you take it to would advise you to do, make sure they do that whether it needs it or not. If you can find a used trans that is extremely low mileage then I would buy it. A real low mileage trans will be very clean(bolts still shiny).

Hope this helps...
