Trans Won't Go Forward But will Reverse
When I put the transmission it into Reverse it drives
normally, but when I shift it into Drive and I press on the accelerator, the
engine idles faster but the car has a harder time driving and starts
moving slowly and then picks up speed. While I keep my foot on the gas
and I switch from Drive to 3, I feel slightly more power, and when I
move the selector gear from 3 to 2 or 1, the car starts moving

GMC Trans Shutters
Transmission shudders going from reverse to drive when cold. After it warms
up some it doesn't do it as bad if at all. It has started to slip in reverse and
forward gears, usually at slower speeds, around corners or starting uphill.
It was starting to act up prior to a filter and fluid change about 3,000 miles ago.

Should you use a used low-speed sensor in a 1991 Plymouth Voyager 3.3 transmission?
If you are sure it is an engine hesitation, pull on the
harnesses under the hood to see if you can get it to act
up. May be a loose connection somewhere. May also be
carbon in the throttle. Suggest a cleaning.
Whenever possible, use a NEW part. Especially with an
electrical sensor.

I have a 99 Chevy Monte Carlo 3.1V6 I'm getting a P1860 error code! Where exactly is the TCC
PWM Solenoid located?
The TCC solenoid is located in the side cover of the
trans. along with the other shift solenoids. Big job to get
to. Support engine and trans with fixtures, lower the left
side of the frame, disconnect th steering rack, etc. Then
lower the engine / trans. low enough to get cover off.

I have a 99 Chevy Silverado that when i accelerate it hesitates  rpms go up but does not shift
into passing gear  what would cause this
If the RPM's go up and hesitates, this is usually caused
by an ignition system problem. Check spark plugs, plug
wires, cap and rotor.

Oldsmobile Intrigue shifts smoothly until the engine reaches operating temperature.  Then
it hesitates between gears.  Also, was working fine until I had my AC repaired.  They had to
remove the dash and console to fix it.  The trouble started after the repair of the AC.
That repair would have nothing to do with the way the
trans shifts. I would suspect the trans is failing and needs
to be removed and repaired or replaced.

First try using some trans shift lubricant you can pick up at any automotive store. See if that
stops the problem before paying $$$$ to AAMCO.

I have a
2001 Pontiac Sunfire, I hit a bump in the road next thing i know my car doesn't go out of
first gear.  I have codes p0753 po758 P1860.  I didn't notice a leak or any other visible issues.
Those are all transmission codes. You could have
possibly jarred something loose, such as the connector
at the transmission, or broke some of the wiring. It's
possible that when you hit the bump you have also
broken something inside the transmission. Either way, it
would need to be looked at by a technician.
That depends on what type of vehicle and what type of
transmission. But, in general, start with adding 4 quarts
and re-check when engine is idling and hot.

I have a 2002 Ford Windstar,  It runs great but this has happened to me a few times only once a
month for about 6 months now.  I will be at a stop light for about a minute or 2 then go to hit the
gas then nothing, I put it in park and then in drive again and it's fine.  Do you think this is
serious?  It only happens after being stopped for a few minutes...Do you know what it might be?   
Thanks!

Chevy Monte Carlo 3.1L sometimes wont go in any gear sometimes will disengage at stop
can feel a shift but no torque untill i rev up (Servo?).
Sounds like a valve body problem inside the transmission.
