Apologies for the wall of text in advance
Hey guys, I figured I'd post here since I'm not sure where else to look, my G6's transmission, or what i think is the transmission has been giving me troubles.
For example when I drive (In Drive) from a dead stop the car will run the RPM's high before shifting unless I let off the accelerator, it happens whether the cars been warmed up or not.
I had the transmission fluid changed and the service guy showed me the fluid, it didn't look awful(not a noticeable amount of metal); but I'm not sure if that matters.
Another problem is if I'm about to merge onto the highway and I go WOT the car will seem like it goes to neutral and revs high, giving no power to the wheels. so I have to shift into '3' or kind of go 3/4 of the way,
I've tried resetting the power/crossing battery terminals. It seems as if the gears will work, i can use L(1) and 3rd and they feel ok, and if I start from a dead stop in third, the car will shift I assume from 2nd-3rd without letting off the gas, which confuses me even more.
Trying to diagnose this problem and google/find solutions is a nightmare I've heard everything from rebuild tranny, clogged cat, & TPS problems.
If anyone has any insight that would be great, it's the 3.5L V6, 4 speed auto.
Much appreciated, I'd rather get some owner input before spending money on parts that may do nothing.
