I had a similar problem to yours... My transmission would clunk on 1 and 2 and felt like it strained to get to third...When I had shut the car off and turn it back on...it shifted correctly. Well, I fix that problem...It happen to be the Pressure Control Solenoid in the transmission. This part deals with the clutching of the transmission. I put that in and it fixed it...I had put it on a computer and it coded that it needed the PCS. So, I had a friend mechanic fix it for me. Also...he recommended changing the transmission fluid after you put the new piece in. I used Castro Dexron 6 (VI) If you can get a hold of the Mobile 1 6 that would be good too...Read your manual to make sure that it takes that kind of transmission fluid first though lol. I hope this helped...

I say try dropping the pan first and putting in a new filter...then replace the fluid with Dexron VI...if that doesn't help...have fun...most anything transmission related is either cheap and a PITA, or expensive and easy...or expensive and b!tch...take your pick
