tranny problems?? I have a stock 01 automatic trans am and well when im rolling at any speed and its suppost to shift it doesnt, the rpms go up kinda like if i put it in neutral. if i floor it, it shifts good. at take off it shifts properly but then at second gear it does the same thing. i wanna say its slipping but i dunno. i checked the tranny fluid and its at the proper level. what can cause this problem and what can i replace to fix this?? thanks for your imput and your help
Your post is a little unclear but I think what you mean is it wont shift to second at any throttle . Does the speedo work and does it ever shift under any circumstance ?

i still have all my gears but i guess wat im tryin to say is that when it comes time to shift it feels like i put the car in neutral then when the rpms get around 5 1/2 or so it shifts. its shifting really late.
Ok you probably have a sensor issue TPS something I would get it scanned do you have and engine light and again is the speedo working

What is the condition of the fluid. If it is missing shifts and slipping when shifting it sounds to me like the problem is internal damage. The fluid condition will tell us a bunch.
That in conjunction with the stored DTC's will help get you to the correct diagnosis. While Autozone may be able to tell you the code(s) stored there is no substitute for a qualified Technician. Have a Transmission Shop look at it, then get back with us. Most transmission shops do not charge to diagnose.

well autozone didnt tell me anything the only code was for the oxygen sensor. nothing bout the tranny. hmmmm my neighbor said it could be the valve plate. wat do you guys think????
You are going to need to take it to a trans shop or a tuner who can look at the data stream and see what the PCM is comanding the trans to do. Dont go tearing into the trans until you have done that. We have had more than one person to order a trans from us because someone told them there trans was bad when it wouldnt shift or had some other odd activity, Only to have to help them figure out the real issue afterward.
