Consumer Description

BOUGHT TRUCK IN OCTOBER AND HAVE RECENTLY BEEN EXPERIENCING EXTREMELY HARD SHIFTING FROM FIRST INTO SECOND GEAR. THIS IS ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT. I SPOKE WITH A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST ABOUT THIS AND HE SAID IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE GM TRANSMISSIONS, HE SUGGESTED REPLACING THE VALVE BODY WHICH HE SAID IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE FROM THE FACTORY IN MY OPINION GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS. *TS *JB ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12-12-02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS****760962
