Transmission Concerns
Hey all, me again. This time I have a slightly more useful question for ya'll.
It's about mah tranny. Ya see, when I'm pulling out of the parking lot of my apartment, I notice that the car seems to shift rather rough into 2nd. Nothing serious, just a bit harder than I'd expect. But into all other gears are fine, and when I pull from a light, and accel a bit harder than the 15mph lot speed limit allows, it generally shifts fine. Am I just being a hypochondriac, or should I be lookin for some repair work soon?

No repairs yet. There's a resistor between the battery and the fender. Measure it's resistance and report back to us. It should measure between 7ohms and 20ohms.

It could be the Throttle Position Sensor(TPS) Read the How-to on cleaning and recalibrating. I had to replace the TPS on both '92s. Bad TPS also causes it to downshift prematurely, and sometimes idle will change...about $200.

Besides, what's the point of buying a fun car if I'm not gonna have fun with it?
