So, i just got this 01 gt with 35000 miles on it. I noticed when driving it, when I say driving it I mean raping on it. But anyway, right before it shifts into 2nd it has some kind of hesitation, and then shifts, you can hear some kind of belt squeak when it shifts. It also does it if you puch it from a roll on, right before it shifts into 3rd it hesitates and then shifts. There is also some kind of popping noise. I've taken it back to the dealership twice and they say they can't find anything wrong with it. I'm thinking that the spark plugs could possibly be bad, maybe a fuel pump, I don't know if this is possible but could the valves be sticking? I know this is long just bear with me. I have no idea what could be causeing this, I really don't think its the transmission, cause when it does shift it shifts strong. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! I just want to get this fixed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The "squeak" sounds like clutch abuse. I don't know about the hesitation or popping. I know if I hit 3rd hard but don't break the tires lose, it will do that squeaky thing.

Belt squeal from the belt tensioner resulting from crappy belt condition plus poor auto trans fluid condition.

Get a gator belt, replace both idler pullies, change tranny fluid and filter.
