When accelerating from a stop, the transmission slips and then shifts hard (slams into the next gear) no matter how slow I try to take off. This happens no matter if I come to a complete stop or not but only happens when the transmission tries to go from 1st to 2nd. The problem occurs about 50% of the time. It doesn't matter how far into the drive I am. Happens when first started driving for the day and after a 40 minute drive. Vehicle only has 62,000 miles and the car is never driven hard!.
When accelerating from a stop, the transmission (in drive) immediately shifts hard into second gear then slips a little before engaging. If I shift the gears manually, the transmission shifts normal. It does this only in drive and shifting between first and second gear. The fluid is clear, full and not burnt. The trans fluid was flushed about 4 months ago with no problems before now. The car has not been driven hard and has average amount of miles.
2006 chevy Monte Carlo ss, started to notice the transmission slipping at about 77,000 miles, when stopped and beginning accelerration it hesitates than lunges into gear while making a grinding noise at the same time. . Checked the transmission fluid and didnt notice any burnt fluid or particles in it. . . . This incident repeated itself for 7 months and today it wouldn't go into drive or any of the low gears. . . Its pretty obvious by all the complaints on various forums that this is a manufactuers flaw! disappointed!!!.

Transmission on vehicle slips at random intervals. Remote entry system works when it wants to. Air bag lights come on at random. Dealer has not been able to fix keyless entry or transmission slip.
