Thread: 4T65E Hard Shift-Solution

Ok. Just diagnosed this problem. Quoted $3700 new tranny. Nope. 2005 Grand Prix with 165,000 on it and not worth new tranny install. Want to try the shift kit but I've never done tranny work. Only car upkeep (brakes/rotors/oil/etc).

Does anyone know if auto mechanics willing to install the shift kit? Live In Des Moines iowa. Want to try this "fix" before the inevitable happens. Just not comfortable doing myself.

Thanks for any info.

Like Russosaur said, just check out the how to. You can do this. I like ramps. While I had my pan off I also installed a drain plug. Just keep everything CLEAN and reinstall it CLEAN. Introducing contamination is basically the only thing to be paranoid about.
