I have flushed and filled the transmission, replaced fuel filter, fixed a by-pass hose, replaced spark plugs, still doing it. I can really notice the problem once the car is warmed up, and sitting at a stoplight or going up a hill, the car shakess violently, it struggles to get ino the next gear it sounds like. Any suggestions of what the problem could be? I've heard the engine mounts, and cv boots, what do you all think? Please help!

 

Sounds like some kinda tranny problem due to you saying that it struggles to shift into the next gear. How many miles on this tranny, what is the service history of it, has it been flushed???

 

Are all your cylinders firing?

 

That is the same question i was bout to ask.

 

Hi! I kinda have the same problem and i was wondering how do you check if all the cylinders are firing?

 

Maybe the tires aren't balanced? Although I think thats more common with a high-speed shake. You'd be amazed what a balancing can do for 60-80 mph steering wheel vibrations....

 

to check cylinders for firing you pull one plug wire at a time off and listen for changes in the engine. if cylinder #1 is working correctly, then if you pull the plug wire so it doenst fire, the engine should bog down because its only working on 5 now. plug 1 back up and pull 3. if the engine doenst bog down but keeps sputtering like it was, cylinder 3 isnt contributing. the ones that dont change would be where you hunt for problems like bad wires, plugs, injectors.

 

hey guys, i fixed the problem. turned out to be bad spark plus/wires and replaced the dist cap. works like a gem now.

 

Amazing how often it turnes out to the the obvious stuff.

 

Hey Lawnboy615, you said you changes the transmission fluid. i was wondering where is the hole that you pour the fluid into. I can't find the hole that you pour the fluid into..thnx in advance..

 

You have to refill the transmission through the dipstick hole...
