Bangs as in makes a noise, or bangs as in going into gear abruptly - not a smooth change?
Check the transmission fluid level, but you probably need a transmission rebuild, maybe a failing bearing. go to a shop that specializes in transmissions. They can connect a pro grade scan tool and diagnose all the shifts.
Look at the 1-2 shift solenoid, the valve body itself, the transmission control module and the wiring that connects them together. The problem will be found there.
Could be a problem with the throttle position sensor. It's clearly an electrical issue. Besides the noise, how does the transmission shift? Is it smooth, or does it slam into each gear, or does it seem unusually soft. Shifts should be firm but smooth.
Well, it would shift easily with engine off, because the transmission input shaft is not turning. Engine running and clutch engaging good, the input shaft would again be stationary and allow smooth shifting. What you have to determine is if the clutch disc or pressure plate is bad (a new clutch is needed), or if the pedal hydraulic system has a malfunction. When you push the pedal down, a rod from the top of pedal pushes into the clutch master cylinder bolted to the firewall under the hood. This cylinder has a reservoir filled with brake fluid. When the rod forces fluid from the clutch master down a steel line and into the clutch slave cylinder down on the transmission bell housing, the hydraulic pressure forces a plunger from the slave cylinder to extend and push the clutch fork lever a small amount, enough to force the clutch release bearing (aka throw-out bearing) against the pressure plate. This relieves pressure on the clutch disc and input shaft becomes stationary for easy shifting.
If it has over 60000 miles it may need a transmission service, which includes a filter and fluid change, fluid may look fine but if filter is clogged and not picking up fluid fast enough when u give it gas the pump spins faster and forces fluid thru to shift, more fluid is needed to shift into higher gear.than to drive
I have 1998 Maruti Esteem Automatic gear car - It works smoothly for 10-15 Kms and afterwards gear not shifting (may be getting heated inside somewhere?) - Recently I changed gear oil also. Any solution???
