No shift solenoids in the G6. I thought that was what was wrong with mine. Found out they don't have them

My 07 g6 gt is doing the same thing. No check engine light, does it randomly and goes away when I shut engine off and restart it. It's weird. Makes me think it has to he sensor related..

Every car needs shift solenoids. Unless their Manuel's. Anyways it most likely is the speed sensor. If it gets to bad to where it can't read how fast your going the transmission dont know weather to shift up or down. Very touchy tranny on this car. But I have the 2.4 the best of all soo......

I have 2010 Pontiac G6 Eco-tech 2.4 it is also rough shifting from 1st to 2nd. And occasionally while driven 35 to 45 miles an hour not even pushing the gas peddle. The idol jumps a little. What’s going on?
