"05 Relay Shifting Hard
 

Hi, I have an "05 Relay 2 that is shifting hard in all gears. It has shifted hard occasionally in the past, like one shift here or there, not constant, and not pattern to it. Now it shifts hard in all gears and I thought I heard some whining in 3rd but I have to go drive it again to confirm that. The trans oil is not dark or does not smell burnt. The van has about 105,000 onit and I don't think (but not sure) thatthe trans has ever been serviced.
ANyone have any ideas?

Yes I have one thought and only one thought.

Your a Goober

Thanks Super Moderator, I'll take that as a compliment! (since,in your post, it doesn't say you are trying clean the forum of Goobers).

And actually this was a serious post, I hope you are not questioning that.

Service that trans and go form there

Come on derf do you think thats the first thing to do ..... why not service the cabin air filer first?

I guess you would want to breathe pollen free while troubleshooting....

Old unserviced transmission fluid is pretty raspy stuff, a new cabin filter would take care of things. A bit like turning up the radio does if the engine knocks too loud.

Derf always did ask me why I played the radio in my '93SW2 so darned loud --> ya caught me, Skippy

Maybe getting a new memory card for the digital camera would be the thing to do.
