So over time I've had a clunk going from P to D that developed to get worse and worse. Now when I'm driving the acceleration seems wacky and it won't change gears. The RPMs keep going without shifting. When it does shift it gets a jump into the next gear. Do I need a new tranny or can this be something else?

 

Aren't there a bunch of shift solenoids that control gear shifts? If one of those are bad I imagine it would do that. Maybe TC going bad? How's the fluid and how many miles on the trans?

 

Gotta check the fluid, what would be wrong with the TC? Trans has 152k, original trans.

 

IIRC the solenoids would store a code in the TCU if they are bad(0/D or A/T light would blink 16 times upon start up). Do as galactica said and check that your fluid is at the correct level and doesn't smell burnt.

 

Any codes? My friend had a similar problem in is 98 i30. We changed the resistor beside the airbox on the front drivers side strut tower and that fixed the problem.

 

check the mount.

have a friend sit in your car with it idling and go from p to d continuously while you watch it if the trans moves alot replace the mount

 

Ok so I drove it yesterday and I noticed that when accelerating the RPM's keep on building as said before and I have to let off a little and get back on the gas for it to upshift...Weird..

 

^^^did you check your fluid though?

 

I have had the same issues and had the tranny rebuilt laste year but now the issues are back so i found another thread that was helpful and im looking into buying a kit that many ppl have claimed to work

here is the link to the kit that has claimed to work. I am ordering mine tomorrow and will let you know know how it worked

link to the thread i found the info in

The transgo kit does not fix the trans it only stiffens up the shifts if you clutches are burnt it makes it worse i have the kit.and if you do rebuild the trans pick up the solonoid tsb kit for $80 the regular price for it is $400
