its my girlsfriends car, it just had a transmission perfessanily put in about 2 years ago. it kicks a little when switching from first to second gear and when its cool like just starting it it shifts into reverse no problems but after it warms up i have to rev it completly to get it to move at all in reverse. i changed the transmission fluid and filter...what else can i do?

Well if ur fluid is full and u have to rev it way up to go into reverse then ur looking at a pressure problem like a valve body bad a leaking 2nd gear piston or a loose input shaft nut.u could check for codes and see which ones u have.honestly unless ur comfortable taking off the end cover and valve body it's better left to a professionial who knows saturns.alot of places include the big chains will rebuild the trans for a in car repair.let me know.
