An automatic transmission might be slow shifting from first to second because of low transmission fluid. You might also have damaged the gears in the transmission at the area between first and second.
my 98 vw jetta atuo shifts hard in first but fine in 2,3
I'd check the transmission fluid level first and then for a slipping band inside the transmission.
A car with an automatic transmission shifts itself from 1st to 2nd to 3rd when you accelerate. You don't need to shift it...that's why they call it automatic.
First thing to do is have a complete fluid and filter change. If that doesn't fix it, take it to a transmission specialist.
Lack of transmission fluid, most likely. That's the cheapest and easiest variable to eliminate first.
depends is it automatic or manual? if its automatic its more than likely that your transmission isn't shifting into first gear
Well, to start, the Saturn Vue wasn't available in 1994, may be your issue......
Most often hard shifting can be fixed partially by a transmission flush and change of automatic transmission filter. Also, i have had luck with using a large magnet on the bottom of the transmission pan before the flush because parts of the clutches that are loose will not be filtered by a clogged filter. Also, on my grand am, the transmission fluid was dangerously low when i went to change it when first buying the car- this could also be a possible problem.
My 1984 corvette transmission is not shifting into overdrive. It shifts first thru third fine.
the first automatic transmission was invented by Louis-Rene Panhard and Emile Levassor in 1894
