    Ok so AL606 spark plugs is that the brand Im kinda new its my first car and Ill check the fluid now. and its a 3.1 Engine. The guy i bought it from said he never had the Tranny Flushed and its 150k miles idk if that has anything to do with it but everything is pointing there, Also My Car start jerking earlier and i barley road 60minutes in it. Maybe a vid might help

    Tranny Fluid is Brown on the stick more towards black when i wiped it on the white cloth. Fluid smells a little chared,

    Ok, first thing is don't take it somewhere and have the trans. flushed. You will be buying a rebuild for sure.

    Was the fluid full when you checked it? You have to check it in park, while idleing fully hot on a level surface to get an accurate reading.

    At 150K it sounds like the trans. fluid has been neglected. Time for a pan drop and filter change. Drain the converter as well if you can (not sure there is a plug on that one). Then refill and see what you get. Might just be a combo of old fluid and a clogged filter. Does the car whine at all?

    Not familiar w/ the 3.1 other than they like to blow gaskets, so I can't help on the plugs for that motor.
