Question
The transmission every once in while acts like it hesitates when you take off from a stop. It doesn't do it very often and you never know when it will. I have taken it to two different transmission shops and they have told me two totally different things. One told me that I needed a rebuilt transmission that it would do out very soon and that the computer was showing all kinds of codes.And the other shop told me that they could find nothing wrong and the computer readings were find both driving and testing. So I'm wondering if you have come a crossed anything like this on these models and what you suggest I do next?

Answer
Hi Joe... are you sure that the hesitation is in the trans. could it be an engine hesitation...find someone that has a scan tool that will allow you to see if any codes are there...if none then i would say trans is ok...try running thru the gears manually...if the shift is good then i think u are ok...hope this helps
