[Shotimes] ATX Going Bad?

[alfitz@alfitz.com]

That certainly is a symptom of a bad tranny. Also look for VERY slow shifts
between gears at moderate to low acceleration. The throttle position sensor
can cause these problems and before you start on the tranny, replace that
sensor and re-set your engine computer. If the problem doesn't go away, then
you have 3 options.

1) Have a reputable transmission shop rebuild your tranny.

2) Get a good manual and invest in some good tools and do it yourself.

3) Buy a GOOD used tranny and have it installed

> To all those with slush box experience, I have some questions.  I've never
had a car with an automatic tranny go bad, so I am not sure what I am
dealing with.  What usually happens is this:  Sometimes under moderate and
pretty much always under heavy acceleration, the transmission seems to
stutter between 1 and 2 gears.  The engine will race and then the car will
kick into gear and I'll get virtual whiplash as it lunches forward.  Is this
slipping?  The fluid is new and full but that's all I know about auto
trannies.  Rebuild time?  Any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated!
> Thanks, JB
