Hello everyone. New to the boards here so I will introduce myself. My name is Jeremy. I have a 06 Grand Prix GXP. Been reading some threads but couldn't really find what I am looking for but its most likely been covered before. On my way home, I made a turn onto another street at about 15 mph and when I went to get back on the gas, the engine just reved up and didn't want to go. I would say that I was in second gear when I made the turn so I would say second gear went out. When I came to a stop, the car wouldn't move so I know I lost first gear. I can put it in manual and the car will move but it just doesn't feel right when trying to accelerate. Manual shift into second and it feels fine. Didn't try other gears as I didn't want to get to far from home. The trans has always felt sluggish when taking off from the day I bought it almost a year ago. I Fixed the DOD system back in November and at that time, I also replaced the PCS in the trans for the infamous slip/bump at take off. Reset the TAP values also and havent had the slip/bump since but trans has always felt sluggish when taking off. The car has 127,000 miles on it. From what I've been able to read, that's about how long these trans last before it needs a rebuild. Thinking that the forward band broke but like to get the trans guys on here their opinions on it. No problems rebuilding the trans myself or disassembling it. Just like to use and replace the correct parts and get some suggestions on rebuild kits and if I should install a shift kit. Thanks guys for reading my post.
