What luck.. tranny problems.
Ok so I have now owned my 04 Supercharged SS for about 2 or 3 months. And just the past couple days, the transmission has been doing HORRIBLE!!
My car was serviced right before it started acting up. I had them flush the radiator, flush the transmission, change supercharger oil, change oil, new oil filter, to brake rotors and pads. Aaand I'm pretty sure they didn't change the supercharger oil, my brakes are STILL squeeky, and something is up with my transmission.
When the car automatically shifts from 1st to 2nd, it doesn't quite catch right away, letting the engine rev, and then when it does catch, the car jerks like a mother and my tires even squeel. I mean come on! I'm really starting to be a little angry with these mechanics... from a chevy dealer no less!

How many miles on your Monte now? Do you know if/when the tranny fluid was flushed before you got the car?
Before I got the exhaust work done on my car, I had stopped by a Meineke shop and told the guy that I had recently had my tranny fluid changed, though I had it done several thousand miles after what was recommended in the owner's manual. He told me that if the tranny fluid has never been changed at around 50,000 miles or so, it's sometimes better not to do it after that because flushing the fluid can loosen up sediment and stuff that's in there and cause problems with the tranny. Maybe that's what happened with your car?

I bought my 06 used and it is now at 65,000 miles and I'm not sure if anything has been done to it? My question is, should I just do a fluid and filter change only?.....

i just ordered the stuff to do a fluid drain, filter change, and shift kit install I am not sure if the person before me changed the fluid (fluid looks very clean on the dipstick tho) so i gotta get it done sometime soon.
