Procedure To Learn A Smooth Neutral To Reverse Shift
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 120 other vehicles, including the 2002 Saturn Vue, 2002 Saturn SL2, 2002 Saturn SL1, 2002 Saturn SL, and 2002 Saturn SC2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Transmission fluid temperature must be above 110°F (43°C).
Perform the following shifts. With the vehicle at a stop, perform Neutral to Reverse shifts until the shift is smooth. An unlearned Neutral to Reverse shift may be harsh or exhibit a double bump. If any of the shifts are still not smooth after the clutch volume stabilizes, an internal transmission problem may be present.
