Let transmission shop do pressure test and diagnostic check.many things will cause transmission not to shift right.could have faulty over drive solenoid.faulty VSS sensor it controls shifts. could have faulty TPS sensor or TCM.the first and second shift valves or solenoids bad your transmission is electronically control many things will cause problems the transmission shop use scanner to check out all shift solenoids.the older transmissions use modulator valve and governor valve control transmission shifts but the newer transmissions shifts control by TCM and ECM.

    make sure you have right amount transmission fluid your vechicle has a 4T60E 4T65E and 4T80.those transmissions holds 7.5 quarts fluid if fluid transmission cant shift it just slip not enough fluid lock it in over drive.

this is a dealership fix.but FIRST check fuse to AWD.if all is good problem could be in transfer case shift control module or problem could be in speed sensors or shift motor.the dealership has diagnostic equipment to check it out and fix it.

SOURCE: how do I remove the water pump from a 03 buick

If its a 3.4 or 3.1 liter the water pump is right in the front. Remove the serp belt, remove the four bolts that hold the pulley to the pump, remove the five/six bolts that hold the pump to the timing cover housing. remove the pump. Pay close attention to the orientation of the pump. It only goes on one way. Any other way and the bolt holes will not line up.

Clean the mating surface of all the gasket meterial, install the new pump, pulley, serpentine belt. Fill with coolant. Open the bleeder valves on the water pump bypass pipe and/or the t-stat housing if equipped. Close them when steady coolant comes out. Periodically check them to remove any air pocket that may occur while running the engine. Failure to bleed properly will cause the engine to overheat!!!

After is has run for 20 - 30 minutes and the fans have come on and there is no more air burping out of the radiator replace the radiator cap.

SOURCE: 2003 Buick Rendezvous Transmission Problem.

I would try changing the filter, I've seen some that should be changed every 20,000 miles. You might want to check for any DTC codes stored for the transmission. Auto Zone will do it for free. If there is a code that might point you in the right direction.

Why wont my samurai transmission input shaft turn.

5 speed

is it still on the bench>????????
i rebuild many

1: the bearing in the front is bad.
2: the tranny is locked, bad shifter rail, detents
3: 4th gear is not a gear, it just locks themain shaft.
so if in 4th gear and input is jammed, that means
the cluster is jammed. if the cluster jams for any reason
it will be jammed in neutral. too, because the cluster always spins.
bottom counter shaft is called cluster. to old folks.

tell me , with the lid off tranny box.
did you test all gears, by moving the collars 1 by one.?????
each gear,? if not why not.????? never skip this step or fail big time.

then test all rail detents to make sure they all work(lid off)
and never allowing 2 gears selected at once (job1)????

then put in a new shifter sheet and try all gears on the garage floor,
all assembled!
then turn input by and and shift all gears on garage floor
i even use a huge drill motor to test tranny on floor, with tape on tip
of pilot shaft. and shift all gears,

this is all basics, , never just throw it together, do the tests.
as you go.

this one is close,

I had my transmition rebuilt but now the car wont go in 4 gear

I presume your car is an automatic, so its either been put together wrongly or its the adjustment on the gear selector. This could also be the problem if it is a stick shift. Double check your gear positions on the changer

2000 Pontiac Montana . Goes into gear hard when it shifts. Has 140000 miles on it.

It sounds like the pressure control solenoid inside the transmission. With that many miles I would suggest going ahead and rebuilding it. You need to remove the transmission from the van anyway to replace the solenoid. I have rebuild several of these, be sure to put in a shift kit, it makes a big difference. I've rebuilt them before and wasn't happy with the way it shifted, so I pull it back out, put in the kit and that did the trick. So, needless to say, I always put the kit in the first time. Although, I do know a guy that changed his filter and added some Lucus oil treatment for the transmission to the new oil, and he says he hasn't had that problem sence........makes me wonder.

Shifting gears late

take it back to the shop that rebuilt it and tell them to readjust the throttle pressure cable. if its shifting early then you will damage the transmission from having to low pressure

Won't shift from 2nd gear to drive unless i run rpms up to about 5000 also trans rpm limiter not shutting down engine at high rpm's . on a 1997 Dodge Dakota 4x4 SLT. had tranny rebuilt 1 year ago Tranny...

This trans has a safety built in to default to second gear if the computer sees any kind of problem. Have it scanned. It can be an input or out put speed sensor, or even a temp sensor on the engine. If there are codes that say ratio error, take it back to who rebuilt it and hope they will take care of you. I use to give a major discount if they were not too far out of warranty.

1993 Chevy K1500 4.3 4x4 rebuilt 4L60E tranny slipping

I never trust rebuilt trannies unless i rebuild them myslef....Beefing up valve bodies sometime leads to premature wear and tear...the kit could be malfuctioning aswell. Chefck fluids and replace the filter in it, if that doesnt fix it, then take it back to the tech, and demand free service :)
