http://www.grandprixforums.net/threads/35485-How-to-remove-a-transmission you dont need a hoist. just a jack really, a ATV jack is great if you have one, but a floor jack or tranny jack will also work.

For $3,000 you can get a TEP "racing" trans... I'd stay away from that shop.

It sounds just like the issue I had a few years ago, the car would BANG into gear at intersections and stops, I was lucky enough that a shift kit and a bottle (or two) of Lucas trans repair kept it from slamming into gear for the most part...

I still need to actually fix the issue, but she's a trooper, still going after 3+ years.

 

[PontiacGrandPrix2005]

Yes....seems really high.
Theres two yards that have my trans and ones 700 for around 40k on it and 500 for the other with 74k on it. I hope i can get this done in my dads driveway lol as mines a hill and def wont work

try the shift kit and lucas trans repair before replacing the transmission

 

[PontiacGrandPrix2005]

I ran one bottle of lucas trans fix havent seen any benifits yet but ill find out tonight when i go to work. Ill look into the shift kit and hopefully that will solve this.. U said its not as bad or has solved this issue for u

So thats given me a few options to look at. All of which dont sound very fun

 

[PontiacGrandPrix2005]

I guess theres no one here on Vancouver Island BC with that kind of expertise that can help. Paid of course

Install the shift-kit like War said. For $40 and like 2-3 hours of work its the best solution if a replacement isn't happening. Really easy to do, but can become a huge mess with all the trans fluid coming down. Make sure you have a container that will cover the entire trans underneath to catch all the drips. Their are a lot of claims on here and other forums that the shift-kit will breath new life into a failing trans. I have installed the shift-kit in my GTP, but only to improve the shifts so it doesn't feel like a slush box. Trans was and is fine otherwise...

Okay ya i was looking into that... In canada its about 60 for the kit on amazon.ca which is not bad at all. And i read the reviews from the US site.. Seems like it will help me. I should probs get a new fliter as well eh

 

[CHI2000GTP]

Definitely get a new filter.

 

[WarStryker13]

Look in the how-to's for the shift kit thread, it literally walks you through each step and makes it super simple.

 

[PontiacGrandPrix2005]

Ya seems really easy with those how to posts... So im ordering the 4T65E shift kit, filter with seal and the trans pan gasket.

 

[PontiacGrandPrix2005]

Was also talking to the old man before work yesterday and he said ya if push comes to shove the tranny swap wont be that fun but can be done.

 

[PontiacGrandPrix2005]

Okay so more reading before i ordered the kit ...it says "no lock up and no forth" transgo shift kit for 4T65E on amazon.ca is this what i still need. Thanks for reading
