Transmission problem
2002 Chevy Impala V8 Automatic 106000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I JUST RECENTLY HAD MY SELENOIDS PUT IN BECAUSE IT WAS GIVING A 1811 CODE. I HAD THAT DONE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. WELL I NOTICED YESTERDAY DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THAT MY CAR STARTED SHIFTING INTO 1ST GEAR ROUGH. WHAT ELSE COULD THE PROBLEM BE?

It could be a bad trans fluid pressure switch, or a bad input clutch piston.

Thank you for your answer. I just had a tranny fluid change and had the selenoids done a few months ago and two days ago it was shifting rough into 1st gear but now it's been ok. I had someone check my tranny fluid and they said it was just a little low so we put 1/2 a quart in and I haven't noticed it slipping anymore going into 1st gear. Would being just a little low on tranny fluid make my car shift rough into 1st gear?
