I have a 1999 saturn sl1 the tranny bangs into gear when it shifts gears and the fluid doesnt smell burnt and I have replaced the moter mount and the tranny mount they were both broke but it still does it and the tranny doesnt slip or anything

So do you have any code's?If it's shifting hard into all the gears then your line pressure is too high.

So you replaced which mounts?The lower square looking transmission one?And the upper engine one by the valve cover?Most of the time when you have a hard shift on that car its a bad line pressure solenoid or a bad pressure regulator.
