Alero Auto Trans Question


Sent to Car Experts August 16, 2005 3:50 p.m.

My 2001MY Olds Alero with 62k (base model 4cyl engine with auto trans) shifts hard from 1st to 2nd gear after the car has been driven for a while (heated up - does not happen while cold). Note that I changed the trans fluid thinking it would correct the problem. The hard shift still occurs. Why? Thanks in advance for your help!

I would try replacing the pressure control solenoid and if that doesn't help you will most likely need a valve body or you could try cleaning the valve body but that's not for average person to try.
