Hard Outta Gear

[BenBrausen]

When I come to a stop, the SHO is comin' outta gear kinda hard. Any ideas?

What I'd do is get a tranny flush. Put new fluid in there and then see what happens. If it still does it, I think your tranny just may be on it's way out. It's a common thing with the ATX SHO's.

I just had the tranny flushed last week.... frown

If it's slamming on the downshift, check the VSS sensor. Pull your codes and see what you get. Also watch for sporatic loss of cruise control, erratic (not ****** ) power steering assist, and dropping out of overdrive.

 

[BenBrausen]

It's been droppin outta overdrive every now and then. I've just been turnin it on and off manually. What might it be?

 

[Mike Kopstain]

if it's also dropping out of overdrive it's most likely the VSS. Don't worry about a tranny rebuild. How's that for some good news!?

 

[BenBrausen]

Well I hope so. It still makes every shift firmer then any other ATX... I guess I gotta find out what to do to get it checked out... Thanks for the help. thumbs_u

Hey Mikey, do Gen III SHO's have this also? Karen's slams hard when slowing down to a light, and I can also feel varying degrees of assist through the steering wheel. OD is through the shifter (99) so I've never noticed it popping out of OD, though it could... 36k on it.....

 

[Mike Kopstain]

Yes it's definetly something to check out. Unfortnetly it's harder to find out because of the EEC-IV comp. frown

that's what either AZ or harassment of the dealer service manager is for... This is an exact quote of him speaking to my mom, "I'll take your son's word for it. I don't even have the techs check out Karen's car anymore. If he says something is wrong with it, I have them fix it."
