Transmission shifts hard when I shift to drive is it the gear shift linkage

2009 Pontiac g6 gt (4 engines not told) GM transmission, guess 4T65-E check all fuses, so the TCM can work. scan the PCM see tranny errors, DTC coded errors. bad parts need to be replaced so buy them and do that ask GM first. then used parts , at car-part.com (wreckers) no blind person can inspect your shift linkes find a shop to do that. real hands on persons./ the service manual even cover this called checking shift linkage for proper shift rod lever on the box for proper detent engagement. so low fails and reverse fails or only DRIVE fails. PRNDL if you move NDL and see if you can feel the detent for drive this may work or for sure proves the point. get the car serviced. tell them your woe.

How do I check the spark plug wires on a 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix 33? Point one leader V6.

To check the spark plug wires on your 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix 3.3L V6, you can follow these steps:
  1. Locate the spark plug wires on the engine. They are usually connected to the spark plugs on the top of the engine and the ignition coil on the side of the engine.
  2. Inspect the wires for any visible damage, such as cracks or cuts. Also, check the connections at the spark plugs and the ignition coil for any signs of corrosion or looseness.
  3. Use a spark plug wire tester to check the wires for proper resistance. You can purchase a tester at an auto parts store. Follow the instructions provided with the tester to check each wire.
  4. If a wire fails the resistance test, replace it with a new wire. Be sure to replace each wire one at a time to avoid mixing up the order.
  5. After replacing the wires, try starting the engine again to see if the problem has been resolved.
If the problem persists after checking and replacing the spark plug wires, there may be other issues causing the engine to not start, such as a faulty ignition coil or fuel system components. In that case, it may be necessary to take the vehicle to a mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.

2006 Pontiac G6 GTP changed shift solenoids but still not shifting correctly and odometer is reading error. How do I fix this please?

You fell into the "Let's try replacing this" method of car repair Gina. It doesn't work and is expensive. A pro grade bi-directional scan tool computer can diagnose faulty solenoids by instructing them to operate and verify that they have. The Odometer display is instructed by the ECM which also talks to the Transmission Control Module. You have a computer issue not a mechanical issue. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me The Mobile Services will come to you. ..

Changing transmission cooling lines 2001 Pontiac Grand Am Gt. when installing the top line, the one with the rubber seal on it. part 24221233,ideals or video's

Here are the steps to install the transmission cooling line with a rubber seal on a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT:
  1. Raise the vehicle: Use a jack and jack stands to lift the front of the car off the ground.
  2. Locate the transmission cooler lines: The transmission cooler lines are located on the passenger side of the vehicle near the front of the transmission.
  3. Remove the old transmission cooling line: Use a wrench to loosen the fitting where the old transmission cooling line connects to the transmission. Slide the fitting away from the transmission and let the old line drain.
  4. Install the new transmission cooling line: Insert the new transmission cooling line into the fitting on the transmission. Make sure the rubber seal is securely seated.
  5. Tighten the fitting: Use a wrench to tighten the fitting on the transmission. Be careful not to overtighten, as this could damage the fitting or the new line.
  6. Lower the vehicle: Use the jack to lower the vehicle back down to the ground.
  7. Check for leaks: Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check for leaks around the fitting on the transmission and around the rubber seal on the new line.
If you need additional assistance or want to see a video tutorial, I would recommend searching for videos on YouTube that specifically cover the installation of transmission cooling lines on a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT.

Engine hot, oil dip stick too hot to touch gages all fine no problems with it just got raditor flushed thought that was the problem

Your dipstick is supposed to be hot. The oil runs over the hot mechanisms and back into the pan and cooler oil cycles through again. The warmer your engine the better it will run. ( don't want it to overheat though) my car runs about halfway between the middle and three fourths mark on the thermostat. And it runs great. Hope this helps!:)

Have a 2006 pontiac g6 leaking oil above starter where is it coming from?

I always buy a service manual from advance or some parts supplier for every vehicle I own, that way the manual tells me how the parts are mounted to the motor and their location to the rest of the motor. I am not sure where the starter is located on a Pontiac G6 but look above it if you have to use a flashlight, if your oil filter is near it, make sure it is tight and not loose. Sometimes valve pan gaskets leak and run down the side of motor making us believe oil is coming from another place, just start looking and you will find it.

I have a 2006 Pontiac G6 GT 3.5L V6, and I can't find where to put power steering fluid in it. Can anyone share a diagram, please?

Not all power steering systems are hydraulic. I think some G6 models have electronic power steering so no fluid is needed. Referring to the owners manual it appears that only the 3.9L uses a hydraulic system. If there is a reservoir it will either be tucked behind the alternator or mounted on that end of the engine. The top mounted reservoir filler cap is on top of the engine to the left of the oil filler cap.

My my Pontiac Torrent 2006 keeps going in limp mode every time I get it wet underneath the car why

I have a very likely answer for you. Does your vehicle have a sunroof? If so, you likely have either a plugged drain hose (and probably the front left/driver side), OR the drain connector has come disconnected from the drain tube. When this happens, water runs down the inside frame of vehicle and down underneath the dash, and in MY case it ran into the THROTTLE SENSOR module. When this happens it causes a short and the vehicle goes into limp mode until the sensor either dries out, or is replaced if it gets damaged. There are Youtube videos explaining how to unplug the drains from the sunroof area. In my case there is a little connector that connects from the drain port to the drain hose. To get to this is pretty simple and takes about 10 minutes. You need to remove the screw holding the plastic molding piece that runs from the head panel on driver side down to the dash area. Remove one screw from that molding piece and it can then be removed. Then you need to remove the visor by removing 3 screws (2 on the left side and one holding the visor clip bracket on the right side of visor). Now you can carefully pull down the header panel and look for the drain tube that runs up to the sunroof frame, and you will see a small connector which connects the tube to the drain port. Check to see if it's loose or disconnected. Put back together if necessary. If it's still tightly together, check to make sure drain tube is not plugged by either using an air compressor and blowing down the tube, or use something like weedwacker line and run it down thru the tube and look to see if it comes all the way out down near the front tire.
