You know, I had my trans rebuilt at an Olds dealer at 60k miles because of the sloppy 1-2 shift (it gradually got sloppy over a long period of time). After the rebuild, it repeated the same thing, getting worse with time and now, at 108k, the 1-2 shift feels sloppy again. I think it's just normal wear in the trans and the PCM programming doesn't adjust for it with higher pressure.

Yep. The day I installed it I tried it out on both settings. I liked setting 2 so I switched it to 2 and haven't touched it since.

Only the old GAs and Achievas with the 4T60-E were vacuum.

Does anyone know if I can put a newer trans in my 2000 Alero 3.4L? How new can I go? I heard some of the newer ones have some mods to make them last longer.
