IS your transmission fluid ok? Do you need mounts? I am not sure if your transmission is going out or not.

Sounds like the torque converter is heating up and slipping. That'* just a rough guess from your description.

Do your RPM'* rise more than normal when climbing a hill? The question on what the trans fluid looks/smells like is a good one.

Me thinks you need to get a scantool on that car. Where are you from? We may have a scantool-owning member near you.

Got a few around you. One right over in Crystal.....SSEi95.....He'll probably poke his head in here soon enough, or someone will scoot him in here.

Roc, put your location in your profile, and fill out your signature with your year and model (trim....SSEi, and any mods you've done). That'll help us to help you
