I own a 2000 monte carlo ss. And lately its been shifting funny, it will sometimes lagshift or rev for a long period of time before finally shifting. Or itl go from shifting nice and normal to really hard jerky shifts. The check engine light came on and i replaced the sensors that where firing off codes and the problem seemed solved for a little while. But just today the shifts have been all wonky again. Any ideas on whats going on?

 

First thing I'd check, make sure your trans fluid is filled. If it's low, find the leak.

 

I would also get the Catalytic Converter checked out. Known issues on 2000-2002 Montes.

However, it does sound like a transmission solenoid is on its way out.

 

Ive checked the fluid levels and their alright. Its also proper color. I dont think the fluid is it .

 

You may be right on the soleniods. Would replacing them fix the problem? I phoned one of the transmission shops here and they said Id need to get the whole tranny revamped :s. I love the car but to get the transmission redone is almost as much as i paid for it.

 

the 4t65e transmissions are the weak point.

tripleedgeperformance.com is a good read on them, common problems, how to fix, etc.

 

Ok the problem with my mc ss is that i can start my car with no problem but when i shift to put in drive and try to accelerate the car will move no where.but if i let it roll an get out of first gear my car will go but if i hit the gas to hard it will start to slip. What is the problem can somebody help me out with that.
