New Owner....help!!!!!

[Redog]

Def sounds like a new tranny is in the works with this car. I had a car with the shift soilnoid getting jammed in 3rd gear and then when you'd stop, it was like a stick without pushing in the clutch, and the only way to get rolling was to mash the gas and drop shift it. So I unpluged it, but that won't work with an Alero, since they haven't had plugs for soilnoids for quite a few years now.

The coolant leak isn't always a bad thing, it just depends on where it's leaking from. A LIMG (Lower intake Manifold Gasket) leak isn't bad but a head gasket is

Well it seems like its the shift solenoid circuit (an electrical problem), not the solenoid performance. I found out today, that the last owner had a transmission put in right before it was sold, but I didn't get the details of its condition. Maybe it has low voltage or or a bad connection. ??
