It is possible. Replace any broken mount, and this will eliminate the possibility.
bad filter
would an automatic transmission car jerk when shifting after having had a transmission flush
Try changing the transmission fluid and filter
check for a failed vacuum modulator or a vacuum leak to the vacuum modulator. It sounds like you are shifting on the governor or engine management unit.
Have transmission fluid and filter changed. Checked Transmission mounts
a broken dip stick wont cause hard shifting... the engine does not do the any shifting... your problem would be the transmission... check transmission....
The first two things to check would be the transmission fluid level, and have it checked for codes. A lot of transmission problems will set trouble codes.
When shifting problems occur, it is usually due to the transmission. If a transmission fluid and filter change has never been done on the vehicle, this would be the first rememdy.Ê
you might be low on transmission fluid
No, bad front wheel bearings would not prevent a transmission from shifting. If your car has bad front wheel bearings you will notice wheel noise or wheel looseness.
A Grand Am not shifting past 2nd gear could be due to several issues, including low transmission fluid levels, a malfunctioning transmission control module, or a faulty shift solenoid. Additionally, problems with the throttle position sensor or a clogged transmission filter could impede proper shifting. If the vehicle is in limp mode due to a detected fault, it may limit shifting to protect the transmission. Diagnosing the exact cause typically requires a professional inspection or diagnostic scan.
The first thing I would do is to change the transmission fluid and filter. When these get plugged they can cause all sorts of shifting problems. I hope this helps you. Mark
