If you are suffering from the dreaded lockup hunting syndrom, check the "Common Problems..." sticky...I've compiled a bunch of solutions which may help. Good luck.

The first threads on this forum are 'stickied' to the top, so they stay there, easy to find. I've added a post to the 'Common problems...' thread with a list of solutions I've gathered from various forums.

These are some of the solutions to the 3rd/4th gear hunting/lockup issues. They may not help if you have different problems.

Good luck.
