I have an 02 trans am with 41000 miles it had a little over 18K when I bought it but it's been from west coast to east coast and ive racked up a few miles. Anyways at around 21000 miles a piston came apart and grooved one of the cylinders so i took it to the dealer and they replaced the pistonand sleeved the cylinder. It's was driving pretty good up until I left Cali and came to Ohio the weather is just brutal on this thing. Now I have all these wierd vibrations at around 45 to 50 mph and at around 55 it goes into overdrive and I have to stomp it to the floor to get it to down shift. "and when it rains the back end takes off" It's completetly stock other than the cat back. I have the 75K mile warrenty so I am gonna take it to a pontiac dealer to get it checked out. Anyways just wanted to tell ya'll a little about my T/A. heres a few pics and a pic of my old truck the dtes on the camera are wrong.

Welcome and nice ride!! I had a silver 2002 transam that I loved driving all the time, just to keep miles off the hawk. It was also stock. Now I drive the hawk :drive:
