Transmission

Hey guys, i know our cars have a notorious transmission problem but can someone explain the details and symptoms of it to me. Im starting to notice a shake in my seat around 2500-3k rpms in 2nd and 3rd gear, getting a little scared, I'm hoping my seat is just lose or some bs but i have a slight gut feeling that the tranny is giving out. Thanks for the help.

Completely Unrelated to the trans issues... Shakes mean you got to check your Mounts.


Trans issue is pretty obvious (RPM Fluctuation and Slipping shifts) other than this is not related to a failing trans.

Worn axles check for play, Loose lug nuts tighten them or Torn engine mounts.

Yeah, check the mounts and also find the reason why the idle may be high or rough.
