So my brother brought me his Cavalier with some transmission issues. Build date 10/99, 2.2L, auto trans. Has some trouble shifting out of first. Sometimes it does, but then I cannot get it to shift out of second. Won't go above 30mph (But then again, I know the speedo is off by 10-ish mph. Related, I don't know? ).
Scanned it for codes, nothing comes up. I changed the fluid and filter, it was overfilled by a couple quarts but the problem is still there. Found a broken wire going into the trans, fixed it but the problem is still there. Also found oil in a connector, haven't found the source of the oil yet. Any ideas guys? Want to do everything I can before I recommend him a transmission shop. |

I had a 2001 Cavalier that did the same thing. The auto transmission that GM used in their 4 cylinder front wheel drive cars from 2000- 2004 were junk. It is most likely that the valve body went out (or is going out). I have seen all makes/models of GM cars with the same transmission from those years have problem. My suggestion is to get rid of the car or replace the auto with a manual. |
