Tranny dying?
So this past weekend i get in the svx, turn it on and as soon as i put it in reverse, it died and my dash lit up. I put it in park, turn it on and again, it dies. 3rd times the charm, and it seems to work fine, so i figure i'll check it out when i get back. As im driving though, i start to notice the ride isn't smooth at all. Its shaking a little as i accelerate, and making an odd (not really out of place, just different) noise. I figure maybe i got a bad tank of gas, as the night before i filled up at a station that i had never been to before. The next time i drive it though, the problem becomes apparent. Everything is fine until i accelerate, the RPMs get to about 2500-3000 and higher, but my speed will stall at about 20 for a split second, then suddenly kick my higher, jumping the whole car forward. Is this gonna be a complete tranny problem? Could it be something smaller that just needs fixing?

none, except for that time i mentioned i coldstarted it and got all the lights, but im thinking that could be unrelated to the tranny problems/noises.

Need a better clues.
Can't say if it is the trans or the engine. Can you relate it to a particular gear, or is it just a case of it happening regardless of which gear it is in?

it seems like it stalls/studders when its trying to get out of the 1st gear, and also makes a strange noise, but once it does, like i said, it sort of "jumps" the car forward a bit (feels almost like i've been rear-ended, if that makes any sense) but after that it seems to run fine.

the engine does rev, i will rev it steadily up to about 2000 rpms, and it will go up to about 20 mph, then from 2000-3000 it revs just fine, but doesn't accelerate right away, only a second or two later it will kick, like its making up for it or something and accelerate again. This is the point when the tranny really makes noise, when im reving it but the car doesn't accelerate. ITs not really a pronounced or out of place noise, it just sounds like the transmission is louder. I really didn't even notice it initially. |
