Re:99 tranny question

Please elaborate, describe more about what is happening. There are lots of variations to "shifting funny" and are caused by different things.

Re:99 tranny question

ok it acts like it is trying to stay between two different gears like 2nd and 3rd it is just hard to explain.. i think it is something that is mounted on the accelerator that can get out of adjustment but hell what do i know??? thanks

Re:99 tranny question

Yes, there are sensors (I don't have the details handy), but the first and easiest thing to check is for corroded battery cables. I have read in several places that this can cause the exact symptoms you are describing.

Good Luck!
