ok so i bought this talon yesterday and now i am having the wonderfull time of figuring out all its kinks and the tranny is beginning to look more and more problematic as i go along... yesterday when i got it, the car drove good... today i go to start it up and drive it and it shifts very quickly into second... i mean within a matter of a second or two of getting on the gas... then after that it was stuck in second... wouldnt get in any other gear... the only way to get in first is to stop and shut it off but then the car repeats the process... any advice or helpfull hints would be appreciated... im changing the tranny fluid and filter asap and im hoping that will help with the problem... thanks...

Its not hard at all, I believe you have an a604 auto same as me.

Tell your parts store year model you have and its a non turbo automatic.

Buy a set of jack stands and a floor jack, I recommend the 2.5 ton low profile from walmart by GM performance its under 40 bucks and jacks are 22 bucks also. Not the best but it'll get you by plus the low profile is great because our 2g's are lowered.

Buy a Haynes or Chiltons manuel while your at your local parts store. It gives you detail info. how to change the filter. Haynes manuel is under 20 bucks is good but having both is handy

I would also try input and output speed sensors. When I had my last auto I had to change each twice in a year.

yeah i know how to change the tranny fluid thats not so much the problem... i just need the funds to do it... lol... i was just wondering about the problems and solutions other people have used... i will try the output/input speed sensors... im hoping to find someone with a 95 auto parts car or go to the local jumkyard and salvage me some sensors... lol thanks guys...

ok so the other day i was playing with the plugs to the sensors and that seems to have fixed the problem... i will update further if i figure anything else out... thanks for all your help...

ok so i want to first off say i am very sorry if i have happened to post this in the wrong section... but my problem is i bought a broken dsm... lol automatic at that... the problem is the tranny jerks really hard when i put it in rev or drive... then will quickly shift into second... and i mean within a second of pushing on the gas pedal... then it stays in second... wont go any higher or lower without turning off the car... please any advice would help... i am going to be doing a tranny flush and changing the tranny filter asap... also im not sure if this matters but the oil cooler was busted so they just looped the lines... thank you for any advice...

scotty
