Well, I think I may have the dreaded Trans. Pressure Control Solenoid problem. :( I've had the car almost 2 month and in that time I have noticed on two seperate occasions that during light acceleration the shift from 1st to 2nd is hard and abrupt. The problem seems to continue until I turn the car off and restart it, then it seems fine. The questions is: How much should I expect to pay for this repair in total and is damage being done to the transmission even when I don't feel the abrupt shift? Thanks for your help everyone.
