I just bought an 02 and when I have my foot to the floor...there is a hesitation and hard shift...if you find out what it is please let me know.thx threebirdHas anyone else encountered a delayed /hard shift from 1st to 2nd?
Yes. I had to have a refurbished PCM installed because of the wrench icon. Ever since, very hard shift from 1st to 2nd. I have a good mechanic (I think) and my 2003 runs great except for that. I'm just learning to live with it. If I let up on the gas right before the shift, it's a smoother transition.Has anyone else encountered a delayed /hard shift from 1st to 2nd?
