Hard shifts
Hard shifts
Hey Guys. First time poster.
I'll try make this as short as I can.
So I've had my van now for past 7 years. A couple of years ago it randomly gave me hard shifts. When i turn vehicle off and then start back up it is fine for a while. Also, randomly if i pull up at a stop sign or red light or something it feels like I'm in a stick shift and you are going too slow in too high a gear if you know what i mean. Well, about 6 months ago, the transmission took a complete dump so i bought a used one from a salvage place online. Came with a 3 month warranty but dumb ass here took too long to get in and back up and running so the warranty lapsed. So, I've basically got the exact same problem with this one. Just seems a bit of a coincidence that i have the exact same problems with both of them. I took it to a transmission shop and they just said it needs rebuilding. Not sure if that would be true or they just trying to get a bigger job out of it.While changing trans i put a new torque converter in. I've bought a new tcm but that didn't change anything.
Do you think this trans is goosed or maybe something else i could try ? I'm about over throwing good money after bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
