Once the engine heats up, once a while it will start hard shifting gears.
After stop, and cooling, it will disapear the hard shifting.
I could not find the vaccum solenoid indicated on Hayes manual. It seems it does not exist on Montana 2000.

Thanks,

Reynolds

Vacuum solenoid would depend on trans. If an "E" trans (4t65E for example) it would use shift solenoids to shift.

Best to get it checked by dealer or trusted garage.
