I only saw one or two other people mentioning this problem so i want to put it out there to see if anybody else is having this issue and how you might have fixed it. It seems as though my transmission it about to give out. when switching gears to put my car into Drive from Park my car feels as though it's in neutral and will rev. but not go anywhere, then it will all the sudden kick in and catch but without switching gears myself it will feel as though it slips back into neutral when I'm idling, I get to a red light just fine, stop, idle, and then give it gas and it feels like it's back in neutral. I'll be taking my car in soon to get this check out more in depth but it's scary sometimes. And it usually happens when I'm on uneven ground, on a hill, usually facing up hill. NOT COOL!

The transmission is slow about going in to drive & then when it does it slips, so far the slipping only lasts a few min. then goes in to gear. (does not happen all the time) I think it may just be low on fluid, However I do not know this to be fact because the wonderful people at Pontiac decided NOT to put a dip stick in for checking fluid levels in the trans. Does anyone know how to go about doing this?
