I have a 93' cutlass ciera automatic, 3.3 w/158k miles. i have change the tranny fluid,filter and seal, also the oil and filter. the car start great , even goes into reverse quickly with no thump ,bump, knocking or rocking. BUT (note i have no tachometer) from a stand still i have to bring the rpm up pretty high before the transmission engages. i have to hold that for about 4 or 5 second before it begins to move. aside from that everything else work good breaks, speedometer, starter, alternator even the neutral switch sensor.twice i was told i need a new transmission and neither time was a diagnostic test done. the car has a small shake as it goes into gear 1 out of 5 take offs. the inner gears shift as they should after the car gets moving, even the lower gears shift when i change from the column while moving. it just that take off from any gear... drive, 2nd or 1st.
