I got my transmission rebuilt last week and did all of the labor accept for the rebuild. Only took me 6 hours to get it back in!!! (Pretty good for a first timer I hear!) The rebuild costed me 1155 plus fluids and misc. stuff. I now am having some complications with my steering...

When I hit bumps on the road the steering wheel will jerk one way or the other and it feels like the front tires are fighting each other. I don't understand why it did this when I put it back together. I didn't touch the tie rods or anything related to the steering. All of that stayed attached to the subframe and I didn't adjust anything.

I was thinking I might possibly need an alignment but I don't know how any of that stuff got knocked out of whack... Any suggestions?????????????

I did a little bit of my own alignment job the other day and it definetly seemed to help. I still am going to get it in and done professionally.

Secondly I am not sure what to say about the transmission. I am nearing the end of the 2 week break in period of soft/mild driving. But I have noticed something that has me worried...
When I am at highway speeds. (Anywhere between 55 and 70) and I go to make a pass the car seems to surge and I don't move as fast as I should be. I would think that the transmission place would have surely replaced my 3 and or 4 gear clutches/mechanisms. But the car was doing this before it went out the first time.

I thought it might be connected with boost issues but my boost gauge winds out and stays pretty steady when this surging occurs.
