Is there a problem with the third gear on a Pontiac Bonneville?
Drive and 3rd gear won’t engage. 1st,2nd and reverse does. Problem moving to third and fourth gear, slows down in third and fourth gear, however no problem in 2nd or 1st gear. Pontiac Bonneville starts shifting hard from take off once driven for awhile or after driving at slow speeds.
Is there a problem with the solenoid on my Bonneville?
Computer reading shows problems with solenoid. I actually have 2-Pontiac Bonneville’s (’02 SSEI & ’03) that are experiencing the same problem. The 2002 SSEI has worse shifting problems than the 2003, however, they are both experiencing similar shifting problems. Nice cars but faulty shifting problems. I need to fix them….
Is there a problem with my 2002 SSEi?
The 2002 SSEI has worse shifting problems than the 2003, however, they are both experiencing similar shifting problems. Nice cars but faulty shifting problems. I need to fix them…. after the car is driven for about 30 minutes, especially in warm weather, it will start to have hard up-shifts only.
Why does my car not shift into third gear?
Such a problem is automatic transmission won’t shift into 3rd gear. The transmission shifts into the first and then to second gear but does not move into the third gear. It seems that the gear slips into neutral when you push it to the third. Another instance could be the automatic transmission won’t shift into 3rd gear at all.
What causes a CarGurus transmission to not shift?

How to fix when automatic transmission won’t shift into?
The PCM will have no input if the speed sensor fails. In that case, the transmission will not shift properly. To solve this problem, you have to check the speedometer to see that it is functioning. Otherwise, replacing the VSS could be the solution. Tsukasa Azuma is an awesome car blogger of Car From Japan.
What does it mean when your transmission Cant shift into fourth?
If it can’t shift into fourth anymore, that means that there is a mechanical issue at hand. These things wear out and eventually even a well maintained automatic transmission will fail. We’ll cover them below.
How can you tell if your transmission has failed?
A good way to tell if this is the case is to look at the vehicles RPM on the highway. If the needle moves up and down with the most minor of rpm input change, than it is likely that the locking mechanism has failed. It feels so different going down the highway that it can be confused for a lack of overdrive.
What causes automatic transmission to not shift properly?
A faulty PCM (powertrain control module) will affect the transmission performance because it controls the gearbox mechanism in most car models. The PCM will have no input if the speed sensor fails. In that case, the transmission will not shift properly. To solve this problem, you have to check the speedometer to see…
