Auto Trans FUBAR
 

my buddy has a 94 and usally when it gets to about 1500 Rpms it has the loss of power sesation and bucking and jerking when it dose change and it dose not do it all the time but sometimes just out of the blue and the check engine light gose and comes any help would be Greatly apriceated :helpsmili

Use periods next time, lol.

Ummm are you saying that it like jumps somewhat almost like wants to change gears but wont?

IT Does change but it you can feel it hit. the only way to describe it is it feels like bad U-Joints but if it were would it not do it all the time??

I had a 1998 Buick Regal GS. My tranny would do soemthing similar. Right around that same RPM it would kinda jump, and jolt around almost like grinding gears. Some times it would switch, others it would lag a little. The tranny was done for and we sold the car. I wasnt too familiar with cars then so the only thing I could say was the transmission blew out. I don't know if changing synchros would help out on your friends car. But even then I think you would be looking around 1000 bux.

i bet you had 20's on that regal. thats how all my hoodlum friends roll around in richmond CA.

Hahahaha, yea right. Bone stock with 180+K miles on it went it died.

did you recently do anything to the car, it might just be going into shift-shock to reprogram the computer to adjust the shifting patterns?

no nothing was done to the car at all like he dose what is nessary and that is it

I'd take it too a shop. But be careful, dont let them tell you that you NEED a new tranny, try and find out the exact problem and see if you can just rebuild that part.

you need the code to help figure out the problem. It could be anything from a broken valve, blocked fluide passage to sun gears missing teeth etc...
