Thread: 2002 GP GT Hard shifting

Took the car in and got the pressure control solenoid and some valvebody pieces replaced. Was $325 before tax ($375 incl. tax). Pressure solenoid line pressure setting was set a bit higher to give a bit firmer shift and help compensate some if it starts to go again. Is shifting very well now.

That's good to hear. Was the solenoid bad or did you replace it just to be safe?

The solenoid was bad. It was maxing out the transmission line pressure reading and was making the car pull pretty bad when it was warmed up. Didn't do it when I got the transmission shop owner to take it for a drive tho. lol. Was replaced along with valve body seals and is working great now. Solenoid was adjusted some for line pressure tho so it is set to shift a bit firmer than stock now.
