    Ok my newest problem seems to be trans related and why not, I alerady replaced the engine a couple weeks after I bought it. At highway speeds is when it really starts acting up. If I give it just a slight amount of gas (just enough to adjust to the speed of traffic) it starts surging. I can watch and feel the rpm go up and down about 200-300 rpm. If I give it enough gas to downshift it will downshift and act fine in the lower gear. At first I was thinking clutches or tcc lock up solenoid. Now if I am sitting still with the car in drive and give it just a little bit of gas you can feel it want to pull like normal however, if I give it a little more gas and raise the rpms to 2000 I get a solid clunk as if I had just shifted from neutral to drive (remember the car is already in drive and started to want to pull when given some gas). The other thing I noticed is that when I am stopped and in drive I get an occasional rattle from up front somewhere. I am starting to think maybe it is the torque converter itself. The guy I bought it from rebuilt it a few months prior to me buying it. I saw pics of the tear down and have the receipts from triple edge. Any thoughts on what this could be. I was hoping not to have to tear everything apart again untill my other engine was built. Thanks in advance everyone.

    let completely off the gas and then ease back into it. you are having a TCC lockup issue which is fairly common on these cars.
