It could be just a stuck valve or a failed shift solenoid, but it really needs to be diagnosed by a Auto Trans specialist. They can plug in to the computer and check fault codes which should give them at least an indication of what the issue is. It may even be a common fault, in which case they might be able to tell you what's likely to be wrong just from the description. Ring around a few trans shops and see if you can get any good info out of them, and ask what their diagnosis charge is, and get a rough estimate on a trans rebuild. Then price up a second hand trans with low kms and see if it's worth going down that track.
Hope this helps,

SOURCE: problem with tempture gauge. keeps reading high
Hello! This is actually a pretty common issue on the '04's - and I've had it myself. There was a TSB put out about it, in fact. Here is the info from the TSB:
Subject:
Speedometer Erratic Movement, Fuel Gauge Does Not Go to Full After FIlling, Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge Reads Hot and Coolant Temperature Light Illuminates (Reprogram IPC) #05-08-49-003A - (04/18/2005)
Models:
2004 Pontiac GTO
Built Prior to VIN Breakpoint 4L296011
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions:
•
Speedometer jumps erratically. Gauge may go up to 200 MPH or not return to zero.
•
Fuel gauge does not move off empty when tank is full.
•
Engine coolant temperature gauge reads hot and coolant temperature light illuminates.
These conditions may be intermittent.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the IPC with an updated software calibration. This new service calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 1.0 available January 10, 2005. As always, make sure your Tech 2® is updated with the latest software version.
Important: Vehicles built after the VIN breakpoint must have the IPC replaced to correct these conditions.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
SOURCE: how do i replace the gearbox of a holden VR?
Taking out the tail shaft from the rear diff but before pulling out of the gearbox Drain the oil from the box,take out the shaft,Take off the battery earth lead,and now the starter motor.and the bottom metal plate at the bottom of the bellhousing (should be 4 small screws. and undo the 4 bolts on the flywheel metal plate which hold the torque converter on to engine. undo the bellhousing bolts and the top hose on the radiator ,and the gearbox X member and let down g/box slowley and slide it off WITH converter on the box ,
When refitting the other box its all in the reverse of removal (ALL OF IT) as well as the converter on the gearbox before it goes in as it fits on the shaft and turn it around and keep going untill it slips into the 2nd lot of splines and in line with the bell housing face.(Do not damage the g/box seal).
Let me know how you get on , Aussie Ron
SOURCE: 97 holden commodore vs II front brake rotors -
not necessarily, its actually a good idea to replace rotors or at least get them serviced due to the fact that they arent built to last forever. if the car is a 97 it probably just had rusted or even bent rotors. if at all possible see if you can get a mechanic to check out the surrounding parts to see if there is any unusual wear done to them.
