Got a tranny flush, and the shifting was better than its ever been especially shifting at higher speeds. However, one day after a transmission plurge (flush), my tranny was getting stuck in 4th gear. For whatever reason, I decided to reset the idle. The shifting came back and wasn't getting stuck anymore. I even drove it on a road trip totalling 4 hours and had no problems.
Well, a week later the shifting get extremely bad. Now, the SHO only has 1st gear, and won't shifting into 2nd. When it does shift out of 1st, it is on any gear....the car won't accelerate at all; unless I stop and then accelerate while the car is in 1st gear. *I also noticed that the shifting isn't easily locking into place...I have to wiggle it to make it stick. O.K. so again for whatever reason, I decide to reset the idle again. The shifting again seems just fine and better than ever since I had it at 76k miles (158K).
I don't get this.....when a tranny gives in, there aren't any gears at all right? I really think that the tranny is still some good. It seems that is something electrical. I replaced the side motor mount and the MLP sensor on the tranny. However, the engine still rocks when you goose the acceleration at idle? Also, I've noticed this smooth whistle-like noise coming up through the snakes when you give it gas whether idling or accelerating....I can here it from inside the car and looking under the hood.
I've read many previous post through the search regarding any type of transmission problems, but I still need some help on this guys. My SHO is my daily driver. I've read to check: the tps, right spec ATX fluids, motor mounts, speed sensor, tranny mount, clean out the sensor right below the intake hose, and also that the SHO when given a tranny flush might actually do more harm than good. Aamco did the flush and they told me to take care of the CHECK ENGINE light, before they can check out the tranny, free of charge.
Please, someone tell me what your opinion of what I tried to decribe about this tranny. I guess the obvious thing to say is that it is time for tranny rebuild, but I want (hopefully) some definitive suggestions as to how this tranny and shifting problems occurred right after a tranny flush? Why is resetting the idle, then driving for about 10 minutes, then the shifting is great again?
Help........I don't have $2500 and don't want to visit a dealership for another car.

i dunno though, sounds like the flush did more harm than good and probably lodged some crud in places in your tranny that dont need to be crudded up..
