My transmission has been sporadically staying in second when stopped, then thunking into first when I touch the gas. This happened with my Monte, when I found out I had a small leak. Fill er up, problem went away. I have no leak on this transmission, and the fluid is bright red and at the proper level.
It also acted even more bizarrely on Monday. Twice it felt like it got stuck between two gears (probably second and third.) I freaked out so badly I didn't think of checking the temperature, and it hasn't happened again since. I almost want to believe it was a couple of rough patches of road, which is what it felt like. I do have a cooler I haven't installed yet. Is there anything else I should be looking at?
