Sues new used 06 Grand Prix...Transmisson ?

Dave · June 10, 2007, 05:44:53 PM

Well im glad its under warranty.. I went to go to get gas in it this morning before we left to livonia to the car show. I backed it out of the drive put it in drive and it jumped a couple times then took off. Happened again when we headed to the barn show. I stopped in the street here and played a bit and found out its hesatating going into gear? It also acts funny when you stop and accelerate. Glad its doing this now cause its only got about 5k fore the warranty is up. I got or should i say we gots to drive the truck tomorrow and get the bike in town for the estimate so maybe i can get it to the dealer tuesday after work. Im just wondering what would cause this. and of course this will put us down to one vehicle till its fixed :cry: I drove all over today and didnt see 1 harley for sale. Now this may sound mean but if i can find someone thats lost a job and needs cash quick and i can steal one ill buy it for the time mine is out of order. I just need to buy one right so i can sell it later. Id also like an 03 to 06 model year..

Dave, have you looked on Craigslist? I saw several Harleys on the Ann Arbor and the Metro detroit area listings.

Hello;
Have you ever got that feeling that because you sold your coupe that some or maybe all of the other cars in you're collection are sending you a message that they didn't like what you did?
I know when I fix something on my 57 Chevy that I can almost lay book on something else going really stupid as a sign from the car that it didn't like my fix!
My 2 cents.

Doing better Debb.. My elbow still smarts and its got some pretty cool holes in it. Hopefully another week and ill be able to sand the roadster frame again. The bike goes in after work and we will see how much to fix it. I sure was upset all weekend watching the bikes that were out

I hope you and Rob are getting some miles on yours.

if the trans does not engage properly and an engine 'rev' helps the trans to 'pop' into gear... that is a pressure problem.

low on fluid

pump wear

boost valve wear or PR valve area wear

a sealing ring problem in drums, ring lang area... any where pressure would need to be held in

cracked parts or pieces blowing off pressure
