Engine "surges"

Well, it doesnt slip after awhile of driving, 10min or so...and hell no am I going to get a new car because of a little tranny slip...and If i have to then I will go with a manual swap...

Have u checked your trans fluid? Could be low or need a flush...had that happen before...

[DrifterExtreme]

i thought if you flush a auto trans that has alot of miles on it, you can take of the varnish or w/e. and it will just slip more or even worse just stop working.

thats what i have been told

i have never heard of this. interesting

Ive had it flushed, cleaned, and serviced and all...I should be fine.

In imports the clutch packs wear out faster than normal and the material in the fluid will clog some passeges in the valve body and will cause it to slip at higher rpm's.

ya, if it just slips still after tranny service. tranny is more then likely toast. I sort of noticed something up with the tranny when i drove your car, just didnt know for sure.

Sweet....5 speed manual swap! Just what it should have been before.

If the varnish in your transmission is the only reason it was still working you are gonna need a tranny anyways a quick flush and fill wont kill you.

I had my tranny serviced COMPLETELY and it was in perfect cond. but I am planning on a 5 - speed swap here soon....along with a LOT of other projects, in example, turbo.

Vehicles dont break down they just give opportunity to upgrade.

[JN210]

yup, exactly why I am going with that 5-speed....lol

[bubba]

If the flush didnt fix it completely you could always throw in some lucas trans fix, to help it work for a little longer, lol. Not a cure all but might get a little more life outa it...

[JN210]

I am hoping it will get me through the winter and into summer....then I will start to work on it and do some serious surgery.
