Stupid transmission......maybe November 29, 2008, 02:26:57 PM Well ive been troubleshooting some more on what i beleive is a tranny problem and i come up with nothing. The engine has plenty of power when idling and when im doing my little test drives up and down the road, the engine seems to be running fine, however the transmission seems to go in and out. It drives sluggish for a second then it gets a sudden burst of power then goes sluggish again. I have no idea, i have replaced the filter and fluid, the pan gasket isnt leaking and it isnt losing fluid anywhere else. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas before i drop a new AOD in it.
