Most likely the o-ring seal between the torque converter and the transmission is going bad. Get that transmission rebuilt pronto before serious damage is done! But first, have a mechanic drop the transmission pan and look for signs of a very thin silvery film coating the inside of the pan. If found, then the transmission definitely will have to be rebuilt, and the torque converter will also have to be replaced since embedded metallic particles in the old torque converter will eventually come loose, due to wear of the clutch plates within the torque converter, and eat up the rebuilt transmission. Now, here is the deal once the transmission has been rebuilt:

Change the transmission fluid and filter once a year -- no matter what! If you do this, then you should never have any more problems with the transmission.

This is most likely due to a bad solenoid pack in transmission. You could have tranny serviced and see if it helps. Poor fluid condition makes valves stick in those.

It sounds like your torque converter or the pump is broken.

2007 GP GXP. Tap shift works in 1st-3rd gears, but will not shift into 4th when using tap shift. Heads up shows 4th but trans stays in 3rd. Works normal when in auto mode.

Im assuming it is a 4 speed transmission and if you are using the "tap shift" which is for performance situations and you wouldnt typically need 4th gear. What speeds are you trying to go into 4th? If you are going too slow it wont upshot because you rpms might drop too low. Will it not go into 4th at highway speeds?

2005 chevy malibu has a slight jerk feeling when it is in 4th gear going at a constant speed and I can notice a slight bounce on the rpm gauge. Also if in low range using plus and minus buttons, when...

Sounds like a tooth missing of the fourth gear, check trans sump for metal filings or pieces. if auto, adjust bands and check/change fluid and filters. as well.

Oil pressure guage dropped to 5 after an oil change in my pontiac bonneville gxp 2005

Did it stay there? If so, put a pressure gauge on the engine, to check the actual pressure and then you will be able to tell if it is just the sending unit/pressure sw , that is off.
