My girlfriend had a similar problem with an Olds Alero. Tranny was shifting like crap, torque converter seemed to be locked up, took to a reputable shop, they suggested the MAF sensor was bad, so I had it replaced, solved ALL of the tranny problems and engine ran much better. This is an easy fix, you can do it yourself and save big bucks. You can buy the MAF sensor on ebay or auto parts store other than dealer and save more bucks on the MAF. I didn't realize that a bad MAF could affect a tranny like that, but it did.
