Sounds like an automatic since they are changing fluid religiously, but you
are correct in that the OP should have been more clear if they want a meaningful reply. If it is an automatic, then try the reverse slam fix at the Saturn Forum: http://www.saturnfans.com/forums/arc...p/t-23670.html This is cheap and pretty easy to do. Also make sure all the grounds and battery are good since the computer controls all shift points. The last thing to check are the shift solenoids. I posted a procedure here about 6 or more months back. Check the Google archive. Good luck.

I have no idea if it works with other vehicles or not. I'd suggest you
contact the original poster (Wolfman). As I understand it, using fresh fluid, filter and a trans additive and then getting the trans fluid extremely hot by using the reverse gear causes the debris and gunk in the trans valve body to become dislodged and then trapped in the filter and/or drained out the drain plug opening. I believe the Saturn used an electronically actuated, computer controlled solenoid valve body. I believe the TAAT was unique to the Saturn. I have no other GM vehicles so can't comment on if the same principle or similar design was used in other models or if this would be helpful. I'd suggest looking on Google for GM forums to ask there or do more research.
