    Ok so over the past few years my car has always chugged when going up a steep incline on the Highway..If I hit the gas it stops... If i am at a stop sign and I hit the gas from a stop it shutters like it is wheel hopping... Now after about 30 minutes of driving my car likes to shift really hard..dropping 1000-1500 RMPs between shifts. It will also shift to soon and dog like i shifted from 2nd to 3rd before i gained any rpms. If i shut my car off it seems to reset after a few minutes and is fine for a little while... What the hell is going on???

    It's limping, gimping and prepping to give up. What kinda mileage on this trans?

    Mines doing the same. It's cool ain't it? Sloppy shifts, early shifts.. etc. I gotta get off my butt and assemble the trans.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Crap...you got me by 11K. I'm at 176K.

    No worries..a trans won't be a nickle or dime...it'll be more.
