My 95 shifts fine and a bit hard when I drive aggressively.
However, when I drive using typical acceleration (ie around town, 50 mph or less, trying to drive rather conservatively because my wife and kids don't like shifts that snap your neck, and fast acceleration), it seems like it's losing track of what gear it wants to be in - like, it will downshift while I'm still accelerating, and the car bucks a little bit. Then, it shifts right back up.
I've done a little reading, and it really hasn't helped me figure it out. I've seen some discussions that indicate it might be time for a trans fluid/filter change, some that indicate it might be time for a torque converter, and one that said there is a speed sensor that might need changed.
Any thoughts? I don't have a CEL, but I'm not sure the OBD-I system has transmission codes?
I realize people may need a bit more information, so shoot any questions and I'll drive it/look at it/whatever, and provide more specific information as requested.
Thanks!
