I have a 2001 Regal Gs. I have i have a tuner and a few other mods. Nothing to much. I have been having a problem with my trans only when its cold. It wont shift out of first correctly. Then once it has shifted once it will be fine till it sits for a long while. Just wondered if anyone else experienced anything along these lines or if anyone has any info. Thanks in advance.
 


Change the fluid and filter. Sounds like worn out tranny fluid. When its cold, the tranny fluid is really thick and sticky but when it's warm, it thins out alittle so it's more flow being applied. Sound right anyone?
 
im currently in trans class.... sounds like a seal is swelling after warm up due to temps. sounds like a rebuild situation but i maybe wrong i hope i am for ur situation

Before you go doing a full trans rebuild, do some simple things like putting a stock trans tune back in, checking the fluid, and changing the fluid and filter. These things can go a long way in correcting some problems. If that doesn't fix the issue, then you can look deeper. But try those first.
 


I have fresh fluid in it. A clogged filter would make sense. I think that will be my next step. It could be a rebuild situation. I hope not because lack of money and nowhere to change it. Thank you for all the help guys.
 
No prob. I hope the best for ya cause I'm in the same situation as you :(. But please let me know if that changes anything at all....
 
I will as soon as i have a chance. I was planning on getting the bigger trans pan from zzp so this is just an excuse to give the wife. Might not be for a little while yet but i will let everyone know how it turns out.
