2005 Saturn Vue, AWD, automatic hard to shift

My 2005 Saturn Vue, AWD, automatic is suddenly hard to shift into gear. It's worse after it's been sitting. When moving the shifter, it makes a noise-like driving over rumble strips on the road. The problem first started after the car had been parked on an incline with the parking break set. When I went to put it in reverse, it gave a lot of resistance.

I got a brand new transmission 2 months ago.

SOURCE: 2004 Saturn Vue Brakes

The vibration is caused by the rotors being warped. Remove the front tires and check the front brake pads. Replace if needed. This is a pretty straight forward job. The rotors are "fall off" rotors and you won't need anything special tool wise.

SOURCE: 2005 Saturn Vue AWD 6 cylinder whistle

There is a bearing that supports the dive shaft to the rear wheels. This bearing dries out with road grime and under car washes. Greasing the bearing eliminated the whistling

SOURCE: CLICKING NOISE

That is simply the mechanism that keeps your car from shifting unless you have the brake applied. It is louder than most vehicles, but that is one small sacrifice for good quality, cheaper car. The noise is normal.

SOURCE: humming noise when driving

I have a 2003 vue and had similar problem. I took it to my garage, and it was wheel bearings. I've had to replace both sets since I bought the vehicle. I found out that they tend to wear through wheel bearings. I also found out that they have strut issues as well.

Where is 1-2shift solenoid valve located on a Saturn Vue 3.6

The 1-2 shift solenoid valve on a Saturn Vue 3.6 is typically located in the transmission. The exact location of the solenoid valve can vary depending on the year and model of the vehicle, but it is commonly found inside the transmission's valve body. The valve body is the area of the transmission that houses the shift valves and controls the flow of transmission fluid to control the gear shifts.
It's important to note that accessing and replacing a shift solenoid valve on a transmission can be a difficult and complex task that requires special tools and knowledge. It is not recommended to attempt this repair unless you have experience working on transmissions and have the proper tools and equipment. It's also important to consult the Saturn Vue 3.6 service manual or a professional mechanic or transmission specialist to have the proper steps and safety procedures to follow.

check clutch hydrolics to make sure fluid is not low. Try double clutching. When in neutral, push clutch in, then out and in again and try shifting into low.

I have a 03. 2.2 Saturn vue automatic awd it only goes to 30 miles And the engine rpm goes all the way up any ideas

I would have the transmission checked, it sounds like it is not shifting. The transmission is controlled by computer and it can sense problems and return fault codes for what it finds on the test and in its memory.

Our windshield wiper spray doesn't work on front window but work on back. They both started about the same time when the temps dropped to single digits. Dont know if that had any causes.

I had the same problem with my 2004 VUE 2wd. There were also some electrical issues like the turn signals randomly not working. I replaced the battery and now the tranny shifts smoothly and the acceleration is much improved. Also, no more electrical problems.
