Rebuilt trans. shifting hard
Just had a rebuilt trans. installed in my 2001 Lumina 3.1 ltr. $1300 bucks worth including a new torque converter. I think it was a pretty good deal. It seems to shift kinda hard all through the gears....with a slight jerk. Is this normal after a rebuild? Will it get better with time or do I need to address this ASAP with the shop. Or can I check something first. Did check the fluid, a-ok. Just want to get some info before I give them a call.

It depends on what type of parts they put in the tranny. Actually if the gears slam together a little they will surprisingly last longer, however the drive train parts don't enjoy it as much so they wear out faster. But I would go back to the shop and inquire why it is acting that way, just to be on the safe side.

Is this a 3 speed trans or a 4 speed. Crusing on the freeway @ 65 mph the rpm's are at about 3000. Does that sound right? Is something missing when they did the rebuild?

4 speed automatic. RPMs depend on gearing and tires. At 60MPH with 3.73 gears in my old Bravada, I would be around 2000RPM. With the torque converter unlocked, this would rise about 300-400RPM.
3rd gear is direct 1 to 1 gear ratio through the transmission. It sounds like you don't have 4th.

Here is one other thing too. While crusing on the freeway in overdrive, if I would shift into drive there is no RPM change either.
What would be the cause of 4th gear missing? Adjustment? Just want to get a little educated on this before I give them a call, thanks.
