Hello to all,I am posting this to maybe help others. I have a 01 GTP and have searched and searched for help with the shifting problems. Mine would not shift properly on its own and if I shift it manually,it would run better. I had the codes run on the trans. and the exhaust.The trans, was fine,the catyletic converter showed 70 percent collapsed. This pushs burt emmisions back into the engine causing it to spudder. The PCM then comensates for odd shifting in the trans. Replace,remove or have the cat. checked. I hope this helps with your ride,it did mine. Thank you.
