[Shotimes] Combative power steering

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

The hard 1-2 shift is pretty normal for this automatic. I am surprised that
it has a rebuilt engine at such a low mileage? The transmission is much more
trouble prone? Any history on the tranny?What does the fluid look like in
the tranny? Be sure and check the codes before buying the car. It's real
easy to do and the FAQ has the instructions.

 The P/S fluid has probably never been changed. Check it and see how black
it is. The 95 has VAPS which as it ages tends to develop this. Repeated
fluid flushing should reduce or eliminate this. Some people have had good
luck with the Lucas brand of P/S conditioner.
