When automation 2005 corvette shifts into 2nd gear hard what is the issue?

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! If your 2005 Corvette shifts hard into 2nd gear, the problem could be with the transmission’s shift solenoids, fluid, or even the transmission control module (TCM). A harsh shift often indicates the solenoid controlling that gear isn't regulating the fluid pressure correctly. It might also be due to old or low transmission fluid—Corvettes are sensitive to fluid quality, especially under load. If the fluid hasn’t been changed in a while, it’s worth checking its condition. Another potential issue could be the TCM, especially if it's mismanaging shift points or pressures. It’s worth scanning for any trouble codes to get a clearer picture.
