My 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS “shudders” when going up hill or accelerating hard. You can let off of the accelerator and ease back on it and it runs fine. My mechanic says that it does not need a tune up but is possibly the valve body on the transmission.
I have a 1997 GMC Yukon 2DR with a 350 and auto transmission, and about 130,000 miles. I have noticed two problems. The first is that the idle is a bit rough, and sometimes when I shift into reverse from park, the engine dies.
My dad took his 1980 Ford F250 Super Duty truck to a mechanics shop. They told him the motor was blown and they would replace it with a used motor for $1,300.
Our 2002 Land Rover Freelander’s transmission gave up on us about 2 weeks ago (it does not want to go to third gear). We bought it used at a used car dealer with 53K miles on it; it now has around 73K.
I have a 2000 Buick Century that is acting funny. When I first start car I am able to drive reverse whichever gear I need. Once I drive for a while and stop at a light or something it does not want to go in gear car is still running but will not catch any gear.
I have a 1999 Ford Mustang GT Convertible. It has been sitting in storage in the garage for the winter and has not been driven for a couple of months.
My son’s 1996 Pontiac Firebird needs a rebuilt transmission, which is covered under our after-market warranty. However, the shop is recommending that we pay out of pocket for a new transmission cooler and a cooling system flush, which are not covered. Are these necessary?
My 1992 Chevy Step Van P-30 5.7L Auto Trans AC engine will not reach operating temperature. I have already changed thermostat. 195 Stant Superstat. Coolant condition is ok. I have checked fan clutch turned freely engine cold and warm. No codes stored, only 12 displays.
I have a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo I have been having trouble with the transmission shifting from second to third. I just ignored it. However, about a week later, I was driving it home and the motor just shut off on me, checking everything I could think of nothing worked.
I have 1998 Plymouth Neon Automatic. When I “gun it”, the transmission ends up not auto up shifting at the correct speeds. I do not have a tachometer, so I do not know the RPM, but the auto up shift into second and third gears wind out and will not upshift properly.
