Hey, was wondering if i can get some feedback with this problem i got going with my car. Its a 1994, 900se Saab, turbo 2.0. Car is at rest, on a take off i can no longer have same release of gas and clutch i used to before, if i give same amount if gas as before, it feels as if it gets flooded and starts to jump tremendously. Does same in 2nd gear once at anything above 20mph, and in 3rd around 50mph. In an encounter with hills, the car just cant scale them. Is this a trans. prob or sumtin else?

on a 1998,v6 w/air, ford explore 4.0. now we flushed it, gave it new screen and fluid. the old fluid had a light goldesh stream in it. would the solenoid be inside the housing?

Hello, I have a quick question. My 2002 mercury sable has a bad problem with catching speed and it shakes a lot when its about to catch speed and it does it often WHILE I am driving and when I stop it does it too. I dont leak fluid, I dont get much noise, my check engine light isnt on and I have no problem going into park or drive. Is this a transmission problem?

@earabeach the solenoid is dirty or gone. flush the fluid and clean or replace the solenoid.
