Hello All,

Well the hard shift problem has been fixed by a local tranny shop at the tune of $685.

Seems theres a solenoid block that houses the gear lock-ups. Well the solenoid for the torque converter lock-up was worn out.
Apparently the converter wasn't locking up as the solenoid was sticking open.
So the solenoid block had to be replaced because the solenoids aren't removeable. So all new solenoids and no more hard shifts.
Sorry for the lack of technical terms but I'm just a lowly estimator....

At least the stealer didn't get me for a new tranny

glad you saved a lot of money. the tcc switch in my car did that but it would just get stuck in drive and wouldn't down shift

 

damn $685, i geuse it could have been worse glad you got it fixed
