<![CDATA[Engine &quot;surges&quot;]]>Now I'm hearing different things from people...

1: Just let the engine warm up
2: its a 20 yr old car....the transmission is slipping

the problem....

When I get on it to get up to speed so I can merge into the interstate, sometimes the engine flies up to a high RPM and then falls back down and I get a nice kick in the ass from my car...Im gonna try to make a video so I can have it explained ALOT better...

please help me.

Not a cure all but might get a little more life outa it...

I sort of noticed something up with the tranny when i drove your car, just didnt know for sure.

Drive like a granny for the first 10min or so. Sounds like tranny slipping. Do you accelerate at all when the RPMs were dropping?

hey, I may have a NA 5-speed z31. car has not moved in at least 3 years. But should be ok drivetrainwise

I think his car is an auto. My Accord used to do something similar when the stock auto tranny was slipping. After driving the car for a couple miles it would stop. Does your car stop slipping after you've driven it a little bit?
