problem #1

Mar 012005

Monte Carlo

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,000 miles
Car began having a hard shift in all gears at 41,000 miles, 5,000 miles out of 3 year/36,000 bumper to bumper warranty. The high mileage on my vehicle is due to extensive highway travel to and from work. The problem diagnosed was a leaking transmission coolant line, defective torque convertor clutch sylenoid, and a defective pressure control sylenoid. It was also noted that upon manufacturing a wire to the transmission was crimped. All parts had to be replaced.
