it means that transmission is about to quit working that's what
I was told by a transmission shop that if the engine temperature doesn't get up to normal then a torq converter sensor will cause the converter to kick in and out, making it seem like the tranny is slipping. But, can anyone elaborate on this? thanks. lghall

2000 Pontiac grand prix with 64000 miles 31 engine sometimes city driving the transmission shifts hard park for 10-20 minutes it ok changing the fluid-filter what could be the problem?
A hard shift isn't always hard on a transmission. When a transmission shifts soft, it has to slip clutches and bands which causes the friction material to wear out faster. But if this concerns you, have the transmission vacuum modulator valve and vacuum line inspected as this controls the shift firmness.

There will be a plug on top rear of the transmission close to where it bolts to the engine. Use a funnel to pour it in with. Don't expect promising results, though.
How do you know if the transmission is slipping in a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Limited?
On my 1997 Grand Cherokee Limited, you could feel the slip - especially after backing up first thing in the morning and then shifting into Drive.My dad has a 1995 and he had slip issues too.The fix was simple for both Jeeps - check the transmission fluid level. As little as one pint of lost fluid can make the transmission start slipping. It seems like such a small amount given the capacity of the transmission but filling to the correct level fixed the slip on both Jeeps.Do not over fill.It worked for me and might not for you - but it is a quick and inexpensive first thing to check.
Would vacuum leak cause automatic transmission to slip on 98 Pontiac Grandam?
I don't think so. The automatic transmission is controlled by engine speed, vehicle speed and throttle position. A large vacuum leak could effect throttle position, but it would cause other problems more noticable than the effect on transmission shifting. a vacuum leak mpuld not cause trasmission to slip but a band inside transmission would cause the problem
