there are no bulletins for 1-2 shift issues for the 4t45e.

there are also no issues we've ever seen with a slow 1-2 shift.

however there is an updated pressure control solenoid and valve body plate.
which could cure this issue.

Well lfor those of you who remember, my car was going on the tranny machine for a fun run. The car ran fine, go figure. Hooking a Tech 2 up to it said something different, so I was told. Apparently I had too much air and not enough fuel. They suggested re-installing my factory Ram Air. I did when I got home from work tonight. Well, the shifting is back to being reasonably responsive, but the RPMs still jump. So I guess they said if that wasn't the prob to bring it back and they'd start checking the tranny out. Thank god for extended warranties. I'l let you guys know if anything different turns up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the air flow sensor supposed to accomadate for the "extra" air being taken in from a cone filter or intake? I thought so, just asking other people's opinions/knowledge.

had my shift solenoid fixed under warranty. Car shifted real hard at times, and at other times seems like it took10 mins to shift. They fixed and no probs since. That was like 1.5 years ago.

Really...so did your car shift hard at cold temps and lag at higher temps? That's about thew jist of mine. Like I said, my warranty's extended until 75,000 miles so if it doesn't firm up hopefully a new tranny for me. Anyone know if it takes time for the comp to get used to the stock air intake again or no?

I really dont think they are going to give you a new tranny, probably just fix what ever is wrong

And to think I thought you were chirping second gear when I watched that yesterday. :/

Now I know what to watch out for. I know it will be happening soon if AznGA with his '02 and 48k miles is exhibting this issue. I have 44k.

eric99gt · 06-16-2004, 07:11 PM

wow, that really sucks guys. that's probably adding at least .3 to your quarter time.

I dont intend to run untill its fixed

AznGA · 06-16-2004, 08:56 PM

Ok, ever since I got Dr. Speed stage 2 WAI, 2 things happend. My tranny shifts firmer, which isn't a bad thing I heard.

When I go full thottle, tranny shifts fine, but when I accerate moderatly, my RPM jumps up and down and the car keeps jerking when it's trying to shift from 2-3 and 3-4. I give it more gas and it finally shifts. People with similar problems, give us an update. Thanks.

I have lower intake gasket leak too, just like you. Did you ever get it fixed?

Mine is wierd. You can tell it's been leaking for long time, but my engine oil is fine, so is my coolent in the tank. I got this car new about 2 1/2 years ago, and I have only added coolent TWICE. I have never got low coolent light, either. Maybe it stopped leaking?

Interesting. I haven't had mine fixed yet but plan to take it in next week. My coolant light came on 1 time and that was it. That was a little over 2 months ago. I haven't refilled it at all. I thought mine stopped leaking but when I took it to the dealer and asked them to check it out, they came back showing me how much it would cost to fix it. $1100.

Slim · 06-17-2004, 07:49 AM

^ I'm confused. If your car is a 2002, shouldn't it still be under warranty? If mine goes, I have until 80,000 Kms or 4 years. *crosses fingers*

I'd sell it before I dished out $1,100 on a repair.

3 year/36000 mile warranty, whichever comes first.

I have 48000 miles. So mine is over.
