Hello,

I have a 2000 Bonneville with a shifting problem. When the car is cold it seems
to shift properly. After it has warmed up it starts to shift hard on every shift. It
usually starts at around 50 mph. It will shift/jerk hard until the car is shut off for
10-15 seconds. I had an estimate for a $2300 repair bill. Any ideas would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks

I don't know. There are no lights that come on when this happens. I'm
thinking I'm going to have to take it to the dealer to check out.

Before taking it anywhere, try adding a can of Sea Foam's Trans Tune, and see if that helps. Many have had luck with that freeing sticking solenoids. If it helps, run it for a while, then drop the transmission pan, and change the fluid and filter.

i agree i would put some cleaner in there first probly gummed up,you dont want to go spend 2300 when that is all they might do, mechanics are sneaky like that,i had a sensor for mine come on and it would not go out and it would not pass inspection i brought it to a mechanic he told me 3150 for a rebuild so i said i would come back so i brought it to another mechanic i brought the car in 5 min later he came out and said i was all set the wire for the sensor got clipped from driving on the highway probly a piece of metal or something.i could not belive i almost got robbed for a 3" peice of electrical tape.

I just added trans tune, then did a fluid change and filter, and added about 3/4 bottle of Lucas Trans Fix, and my tranny shifts so much better now. Worth the ~$40 bucks in the materials, and the hour or so of time to do.

Take it to autozone and have it scanned. Mine doesn't have a SES light either and it's doing what yours is. I found I have a P1811 code.
