delayed grab when changing from reverse to drive??

Nov 22, 2003 1 Replies

hi - i have a 1995 sc-1 (automatic) and last night i began to have a problem that when i switch from reverse to drive, when i press the gas it takes a few seconds for it to "grab"...this also happens if i stop at a red light. the problem seems intermittent...anyone have any ideas what may be the cause of this? and if so, what's my solution? thanks. j


You can do a search in google groups within the rec.autos.makers.saturn ng for "reverse bang" and you'll come across mention of a failing valve body.

And I believe over at

there is a procedure for cleaning the valve body without taking things apart.

Good luck.
