Is my transmission on the way out?
Sorry to post this, but search still doesn't work. The automatic transmission on my '89 GXE (90,000 miles) has started giving a jerk when shifting into second from first. The problem is worse under hard acceleration and/or when the car is cold. All other shifts are fine. The fluid was reacently flushed and still looks clear, no burnt smell. I don't know any good tranny shops in my area. Should I start worrying?

Im having the exact same problem. Hard shift from first to second only I just had my tranny fluid changed too. I have no clue what the hell it is but Im just going to ride it until it dies.

Screw the automatic and go for a 5-speed! they are cheaper to buy and cheaper to rebuild if you ever need it done. But thats just my opinion

93maxVG, thanks for the good news. nTesla, you're better off selling your baby and buying another max with a standard. Trust me on this one. Just make sure your fluid is clear (change if necessary) and topped off before you go to trade it in.
