I have a auto transmition in my 1996 I30. When my car changes speed from 1st to 2nd u feel a kick and the car jerks.
I have read a few posts and i know some poeple have that.
I just want to know what it mean?
Does it cause me to loose speed and power?
Is it mormal to have this?
Is there anyway to fix it?

 

First try performing a tranny service, have it cleaned. Usually this should solve that problem, at least it did for me. If that doesn't take care of it, then it could be the solenoids I think. I wouldn't suggest going to the deal since most of them rip you off on parts & labor. Well good luck on it.

Best Regards,

Andy

 

Flushing the trany is not a good idea if you have a lot of miles on your car and dont normaly flush the trany. I had to find that out the hard way. I flushed a trany with 120,000 miles and was pleased with how smoothly it shifted, but not 6 months later I started having a lot of sliping into first.

Just something to think about.

 

My 1996 I30t does the same thing. I had the transmission maintenance performed but it didn't change anything. I was thinking that maybe it's because I'm about 10k overdue for a tuneup...

 

hey.. how interesting.. i thought i was the only one who had this.....

interested to see what turns out to be the fix

 

i think i read a thread that this is a manuf. defect. i dont htink there is a fix.
