SOURCE: i have top of the 2004 impala indy ss.transmission

Soft shifting, gradual performance degradation: Poor line pressure rise due to leaking boost valve, clogged EPC filter screen, failing EPC solenoid, or worst case: leaky seals throughout. Seal restorer may fix last problem. Also try a transmission flush with BG brand products (Firestone stocks it).
Chances are the boost valve may be leaking or a bad EPC valve. (EPC Electronic Pressure Control valve). Try not to drive the transmission to hard as to ensure you do not do any further damage which would cause in the transmission rebuilt.
Replacing the boost valve or EPC valve is easy once the transmission pan is dropped. Put a line pressure gauge (visit a local trans shop) on the pressure test port and go for a drive to verify proper line pressure. Base pressure at idle in P,N,OD should be around 70psi and around 140psi in R. Max line pressure should be at least 190psi at WOT in 1st or 2nd, 225psi is optimum. If base pressure is low, trans or pump is worn out. If max pressure is low, check EPC solenoid. If reverse is slow to engage, and line pressure does not come up to at least 130psi in reverse, replace the boost valve.
Thank you for using fixya and good luck.

SOURCE: transmission seems to be 'slipping'. is there an

Yes it uses transmission fluid. be sure to check the level, IF it is really low, put it in slowly, stop and go in and step on the brake and go through the gears to circulate it. If it is not low, i would replace the filter at least to see if it is clogged.

SOURCE: mahual transmission is slipping is there an easy fix

No easy fix if it is the friction plate that's gone. If it is clutch adjusment that's easy.

2005 chevy impala.. transmission slipping or something. this car has about 193,000 miles on it.. im wondering why its slipping (transmission) and if its even worth fixing...???

HI,
First, verify the transmission fluid level is correct - look in the Owner's Manual for info. 2nd get a transmission fluid replacement - do NOT do a 'chemical flush' it could make it even worse....just have them drain out ALL the old fluid and put in new fluid. Shouldn't cost more than $100. If you have any Check Engine Lights or other unusual lights on, get those checked out, too.

Per KBB.com car is worth about $2500 if you sell it yourself; dealer might give your $1500 but only $500 w/a bad transmission. A rebuilt transmission would likely cost $2000....do NOT fix it. 193K miles is a lot on any car especially an Impala. Time a for another car.

GL,

Transmission slipping due to too much fluid?

Possible, but make sure you have correct fluid level. Start car and let idle for 15 minutes, fluid level is checked with engine running.

2003 Chevrolet Impala While the vehicle is moving, at the feel for the change of gear there is feel on the gas pedal as a vibrating pull sensation. Would that be a transmission problem or what else...

It could be your Torque Converter slipping, have the car brought in to a transmission shop and have them do a transmission line pressure test. It could be a simple transmission boost valve that needs to be replaced to bring the transmission line pressure up to keep it from slipping.

See if the problem goes away when the brake pedal is pressed slightly to unlock converter. Have a shop verify line pressure, and provided no valves in the TCC hydraulic circuit are worn, replace the torque converter. Also, Lubegard Shudder Fix will at least fix this for awhile. Or try a transmission flush by a shop that a dirty EPC valve screen could be causing a low transmission pressure.

Good luck and thank you for suing Fixya. .

2003 Chevy Impala transmission

Did you have it serviced or rebuilt, If you had it rebuilt I would take it back to the trans shop for warranty repairs.
If they just changed the trans filter I don't think it would cause your problem.You just have bad luck with the slipping trans

2000 impala ls trans problem

The problem is a known issue with the 1 to 2 shift at hard throttle. The fix is a repair of the entire 2nd clutch assy. in the transmission. There is a TSB about it released by Chevy. It will need that rebuild for the sudder to go away, or you can try and let off it at shift to stretch more miles out of it.

1986 dodge ram 150 tranny problem

Sorry this is not an easy fix the clutch packs in the transmission are slipping, usually caused by wear, but the hydraulic pump is probably getting week. As the oil warms up the oil gets thinner and the hydraulic pressure decreases. Times for a overhaul of the transmission, and if the torque converter can not be flushed a new torque converter is recommended. You may get lucky buy changing the fluid several times, but if the transmission is 22 years old it may not help.
