if its an automatic change fluid filter in transmission!!
Bent shift linkage Frozen shifting linkage - try lubricating
Hard to start, poor performance, and poor fuel mileage. Just replace the filter is you even suspect is is clogged.
its toward the back right in the middle of the car. It is hard to get one line off. I had this same issue with my 99 malibu. You have to get a good grip on that clip on the line. pull toward the filter and pull the line out.
where is the crank shaft pistion sensor located on a 2002 Chevy Malibu, and how hard is it to replace
One issue with a 2001 Chevy Impala hard shifting could be the pressure control solenoid. The car may also need something as simple as more transmission fluid.
yes but very hard and lots of frustration
The Malibu might have a problem with the vapor canister. If the canister is clogged up the fuel tank will not vent right and the car will be hard to start.
I have a 2002 Moutianeer, and not to long ago had a problem with the shifting. It would struggle, then shift real hard into 2nd. I had to have a tramsmission overhaul done. Thank God it was under warrenty.
try changing the map sensor, that was the problem on mine.
You will have to take the 2001 Chevy Malibu to a mechanic to have stripped and broken plugs removed. It needs a special tool to get the broken ones out.
Yes, the bolt that holds the harmonic balancer in place on a 2001 Chevy Malibu is reverse thread. I learned that the hard way and stripped the head of my bolt down to nothing. And the bolt is almost impossible to find, because they no longer make them.
a broken dip stick wont cause hard shifting... the engine does not do the any shifting... your problem would be the transmission... check transmission....
