the tranny fluid may be low or need to flush tranny

***These transmissions are prone to failure when abused, at all. The problem you are describing sounds like intermittent failure of the EPC (Electronic Pressure Control) system within the transmission. This will require diagnosis/repair by a qualified mechanic. Do not have the transmission flushed, transmission flushes are not necessary and can damage your transmission. Even automobile manufacturers recommend against flushes - The only necessary periodic maintenance on an automotive transmission is regularly scheduled changes of the transmission filter & fluid.

My 2001 grand am gt is shifting hard someone please help?

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.

If the trannsmission on a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee is not down shifting when stopped and tries to take off in third gear but there are no sticking valves and it manually shifts OK what is wrong?

i am having the same problem and had it before in my 1996 grand Cherokee and i traded it in on a 2004 grand Cherokee and the same thing is happing. i spent like 2000 dollors on different macanics and no one fixed it. There is a solenoid located above the transmission pan that controls the down shifting. To have this replaced at a shop it will cost about $300.
