Thanks guys for the tips. If the PCS was completely crapped out would the scan give a low pressure reading? If I decide to try just the PSC how much should I be looking to have someone do it? I will check the mount tonight and also look at the lucus solution. Thanks! Chad

Thanks for the reply! I just changed the fluid about 13K miles ago. It doesn't smell burnt at all before or after the change. The pan had some clutch material in it when I dropped it but that was it! I just did a pan drop and filter, no flush. Any thoughts?!? Thanks! Chad

Well....took the bonnie into a transmission shop and they recommended a replacement. They said no codes were thrown. Does anyone have suggestions outside of replacing the transmission? Would a product like lubeguard be something to try? Thank you all for the input!

PS: They quoted me $2275 for the ...

Hello everyone! I have a 98 Bonneville that has been acting up more in the last 18 months. When mashing the pedal from a stop I get an awful shudder from the car. Letting off the pedal and rolling back onto it alleviates the problem. I am usually very gentle with my car but my wife's spirited ...

Thanks!

Hello all. I am in need of an o2 sensor I am looking at either of these.

Denso: Part # 2344018
AC Delco: Part # AFS109

Are these the right parts numbers? The Denso is a little cheaper so I was just planning on going that route unless someone felt differently about them.

Also I will be ordering ...

Thought I would post an update to my situation. I completed the shift kit install this morning. Took about 1.5 hours. That included setup and cleanup. Not too bad. Took it for a test run and the shifting does seem a bit firmer with less slip. Now it is just a matter of putting some miles on to see ...

ok. Thanks for the input!

Thanks Lesebre! That writeup is good and I plan on using it when I install mine. Did you notice a snug fit with the red spring in the plain? Is this a big deal?

I got my TransGo kit in yesterday and plan on installing in the next week or two. I had a quick question regarding the kit. The TransGo kit has a plain, red, and white spring with two spacers (.530" and .750") for the 2-3 accumulator and a plain, white and one spacer ( .750") for the 1-2 accumulator ...

Thank you very much for the explanation!

Was reading more of your posts Buffalo and see you are now replacing the PCS. I am just trying to understand the situation with the shift kit. I was thinking it basically bypassed the PCS by shifting quicker and not allowing long shift times. So why would it need to be replaced. Thanks!

WIll run through those. Thanks! Chad

Thanks Buffalo! I did a search for the install thread and I am not finding it. Any ideas? I just ordered the transgo kit and will be installing it when it arrives. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I have a 1998 Bonneville SE. About 5 months ago I replaced my trans filter and fluid and adding Sea Foam prior to the pan drop. I have had the hard 2-3 shifts occasionally and had a PCS code come up the last time it was at the dealer. The last several months the hard shifts have seem ...

Thank you very much for your quick responses!

Should I get the 195 or 180 degree thermostat? Any pros or cons to either? Thanks again! Sorry, I keep coming up with another question!

Great! Thanks for the help!

Thanks! Couple of quick questions. I was looking again at Bill's explanation of coolant refilling. Will I need to get to the thermostat to refill the coolant since I am only replacing the radiator and not messing with the engine itself? If so, is the gasket for the thermostat cover reusable? Thanks ...

It is actually just the conventional stuff (green I think?!) I had the UIM, LIM, plenum replaced about 1.5 years ago and they replaced the thermostat and dexcool with the regular stuff.
