Normally when i accelerate i feel my steering wheel vibrate a lil, at first it thought it was my drop and axles, i've raised my car 1/2in higher on the right side and bought new axles but it still vibrates from only that side on acceleration, not to mention that when it shifts (yes its an auto) it hesitates and drags out 1st gear, could it be slowly but surely that my tranny is on its last leg.................. please no lame jokes about auto, this is a forum of thousands, someone had to have one...

HAHA! you have an auto... I'm not by far an expert but possibly clutch pack?

Motor mounts, maybe? There's another thread with the same problem around here somewheres.

could be a combo of things.. something do do with bad axel ect or motor mouth that would cause the vibrate.. and loss of power i would say to a bad MAF.. search on it.. or could be the dreaded . . .ehh name um.... cant remember but its some type of solinoid in the tranny someone else can fill me in......g/l

o.k were yall tryna be funny??? tranny... intake i was thinking broken tie rods but i drove on it today but it dont wild out, so i'm also thinking ball joints, but i have no clue, oh yeah theres significant power loss

if you're over 100k miles, might want to check play in the lower balljoint on the control arms. They really are only good for about 100k miles until they start getting some play in them. Especially on the crap roads that we both drive on...

While there, check the control arm bushings for wearout.

In truth, at 100k miles or so it's not a bad idea to just replace both LCAs with new ones, which will have new bushings and new balljoints all in one...

Power loss could be MAF. Or lack of clutch and one less gear.
You know I gotta give a fellow DC member sh*t man.

Well let us know what you figure out. I would really try the MAF for the power loss...

Well i'm thinking i have problems with my trans.. I've compared it to my cousin's 96 stock GXE.. Unless the less weight makes THAT much of a difference (I do have a heavy *** 2cuF box with a JL12W7 in my car).. The automatic pulls harder in that bish than mine.. Mine probably hangs with it a little bit through 1-2, but 3rd feels SUPER slow.... and when its in 3rd, about 3000-3500rpm, the rpms drop about 300, then catches itself.. and this is at WOT.. Now its starting to do that in 2nd, about 4800-5000rpm... But that could be my VI failing... my car only has < 56k miles

my tranny has recently been feeling like it's going down hill, too. My 1st gear drags out and shifts really hard. idk what the problem is, u might have the same problem.

Grand_hustle17

iTrader: (22)

^^^ yeah. if i WOT it'll drag then shift hard but under regular driving circumstances its aight, not great, i think theres a way around that though i forgot what the dealership said... idk it was like that when i pulled my best auto times 15.1, MOF theres a video on youtube "maxima race" by DNVR12 with an extremely similar maxima and he sound like he had the same problem if you listen keenly mines is sometimes worst
