i just purchased my 2003 H2 and the damn thing is huge sitting in the driveway. i love it! one question: when i shift into revers it kind of kicks in harder than the other gears. is this normal? please respond and thanks for the responses.

 

Does this happen everywhere or only in your driveway? I mean, is your driveway in an incline? Because if it is, than it is normal. If it happens all the time everywhere else, then you might want to have it taken in for a look.

 

Hi from germany [sm=welcomesign.gif] also bought me a 03 H2 pitchblack 8 weeks ago...30K miles on it....and just love it
you better get this reverse thing checked.....so far I had to replace the steering Intermediate shaft (clunk noice in steering)but that is 03 GM models problem..had the same
on my 03 Avalanche

enjoy the new rig sm=gears.gif]

post some pic's please

 

driveway doesnt have an incline, its level. it doesnt kick hard into reverse but it is noticeably harder than the other gears though. ill take it to the dealer and have it checked out. damn a day and a half of ownership and already takin her to the dealer. oh well, i still love her though. thanks guys/gals

 

I dont really recall mine doing that. Bt ine is an 05. How miles on your 03?

 

mine has 50,ooo miles on it. i noticed that early in the morning when i first get into the H2, it wont shift hard at all. is it because its cold?. it starts to do it when warmed up. have an appt with a tranny shop next week. we shall see. keep ya posted

 

don't take this the wrong way, but have you checked your tranny fluid? did you get any maintenance records on it? if you've got 50k you should have had a fluid change by now. mine tends to shift a lot rougher than my wife's camry, and seems slower going into gear from park, or from reverse to drive.
