2001 Saturn SC1 Transmission Problems

10/27/2010 1:29 PM

I own a 2001 Automatic Saturn SC1 and I have been having major issues with the transmission. I have had my transmission replaced before and then about eight months ago my transmission broke again. I brought it to a mechanic and after 2 weeks he also said that my engine was bad. He replaced my engine with the SL2 Engine which is a twin cam engine. My car is standardly equipped with a single cam engine. He put in a new transmission and the vehicle is having issues. sometimes the car shifts fine and other times it wont shift out of first gear. the mechanic said he tried 4 transmission and none of them worked. He is now returning to me my vehicle afer 8 months and the car still doesnt shift properly. Does anyone have any Ideas of what it might be?? The mechanic said it might be a wiring issue but he is moving out of the state and refuses to work on the car any longer.

On the back of the transmission near the drivers side firewall where the shifting mechanism hooks to the transmission there may be an adjusting plate that synchronizes some electrical contacts with the mechanical shifting of the transmission. Adjusting this got my brothers Saturn out of first gear after he had his transmission replaced and the mechanic wanted 300.00 more to change what was thought a defective transmission. Hope this helps.

in side of the shifter positioning switch sometimes the grease on the electrical contacts gets contaminated. you can replace the unit or take it apart and clean and re grease it. this may not be it but it is worth the try. this was a problem with many isuzu troopers. basicaly the same thing the other fellow posted but instead of adjusting you clean it.
