Swap to 6 Speed
Ok I'm sorry if the answer to this is somewhere else. Recently in the hotter weather, my transmission has been acting up much worse than normal.. the 2-3 shift is slightly delayed at times, and going from P-D, P-R, R-D, results in a 2-3 second delay, a loud bang and slight jerk before it engages.
These problems have just started occurring since the weather is getting warmer and now is the time I can start saving some money to fix this problem. My goal is to have the transmission repaired by early to late August. I have an 04 SE with the Elite package and the 5AT. What would be my best options for this problem? I know its a notorious problem but I am thinking about possibly switching to a 6MT or would the CVT from the 07-08 work as well?
I know this must sound really gray but I have no clue where to start to make a game plan.

the CVT tranny wont work in your year without major modification/new computer, MAY not even work at all. Good luck

Ok thanks! I am a member over at my6th but I rarely go over there because sometimes its hard to find things.. But I went and looked over there and yes, I believe it may be the valve body. With the mileage of my car (next oil change at 139k) I thought that would be a transmission rebuild. Im just weighing my options with which way to go (Transgo, OEM valve body, etc.) because it will take me all summer to save this money up.
