My problem: I put the car in drive, accelerate hard while the car's transmission is in first then you hear the car choking in a way, like it stays in first gear & you hear the engine wanting to rev faster but drops in rpm & picks back up & repeats unless you let off the gas & then accelerate to allow the transmission to mesh into second & etc, its weird & it occurs on through all gears when you hold down the accelerator & don't let off when you hear the car nearing its shift point, any ideas as to the problem? I'm going to get the car checked out but it'd be nice to see if anyone else has had the problem & what was the solution if they fixed it.
Edit: I am not sure if anyone can understand what I'm trying to say, so I'll see if I get a chance to get a quick video uploaded somewhere of what occurs. This post has been edited by Meonspeed: Aug 15, 2004 - 1:22 AM |

In addition to what was said above you might want to have someone check out your torque converter.

Yeah, you just shifted into second. |

Na, it says doing that repeatedly then you hear a major drop in rpm when it catches second like it suppose to if I let up off the gas, but when the rpm's get high & drops the way I said it, it drops maybe 1k-1,5k & picks up. Long story short, imagine playing GT3 & holding the L1 button (which stops it from upshifting into the next gear in automatic) it's like that.

Yeah, you're shifting into second; you can't just magically drop RPMS unless you're bouncing off the rev limiter- and you can't do that if you're in D; A drop of 1-1.5k while your foots mashed on the accelerator seems about right. |

if you're getting any hesitation/roughness while shifting (the car lurches, etc) just do a fluid change on the transmission.. supposed to be done every 60k miles.. have you ever changed the trans fluid in your car? also, are you sure the O/D (overdrive) OFF light isn't on? turning the O/D off prevents the car from upshifting repeatedly while you're driving. with the overdrive on it helps with your gas mileage, but also keeps trans in a higher gear all the time.

Over drive makes your auto tranny shift at lower RPM's to give you better gas mileage. If you turn it off you can make your tranny go to the Higher RPM's so you can go faster and harder. (I think again correct me if I am wrong)

OD is your last gear.; Without it, you have only 3 gears. |

So... technically I am right only in a very round about and not exact kind of way.

I just bought the car on saturday & saw the fluid as new. (like I was gonna believe it actually had been taken care of) What I assume is that the transmission hasn't been kept well & they hid it from me..oh well, taking it to mechanic to see the verdict & if I need a new transmission then oh well, so be it. |
