I have a 2004 Oldsmobile Alero and we have been thinking the transmisison is slipping but now we just don't know. Last night I had the cruise set and the cruise just kicked off and wouldn't turn back on. Then I came to a red light and came to a complete stop when I started back the car made a big thud and jerked going into 1st. It took a little while going into 2nd as if the transmission kicked out. I turned off of the highway and when I was going up a hill, the car acted just fine. When I turned into my driveway my car died. This morning on my way to work the car started up just fine, drove just fine, and the cruise control worked.

Honestly that sounds like your modulator. When was the last time you changed the filter nad fluid. Also what could be a possibility is that you have a slow leak either on the pan or the front seal on the tranny. willyconchilly View Public Profile Find all posts by willyconchilly Add willyconchilly to Your Buddy List « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Thread Tools Search this Thread Show Printable Version Email this Page Search this Thread: Advanced Search Display Modes Linear Mode Switch to Hybrid Mode Switch to Threaded Mode Posting Rules You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts vB code is On Smilies are On [IMG] code is On HTML code is Off Forum Jump Please select one User Control Panel Private Messages Subscriptions Who's Online Search Forums Forums Home -------------------- Cars Lounge     General     Acura     Alfa Romeo     Audi     BMW     Dodge     Ferrari     Fiat     Ford         Ford Explorer         Ford Falcon         Ford Festiva         Ford Flathead         Ford Focus         Ford Mustang     GM         GM Cadillac         GM Cadillac Deville         GM Camaro         GM Camaro Firebird         GM Chevy Malibu         GM Corvette         GM Fiero         GM Oldsmobile         GM Pontiac     Honda     Hyundai     Infiniti     Isuzu     Jaguar     Kia     Lexus     Mercedes Benz     Mini     Mitsubishi     Nissan     Peugeot     Porsche         Porsche 911         Porsche 928         Porsche 944     Rolls Royce     Saab     Subaru     Toyota         Toyota Camry         Toyota MR2         Toyota Prius     Volkswagen         Volkswagen Beetle     Volvo All times are GMT -8.
