hey tranny man ,thanks for the info on the trans, but I think I need to inform you a little better because I seem to have symptoms that pertains to a lot of bad issues, lol. Here is the low down... It whines but only ever so often, It doesn't kick itself down, it has great take off! no hard shifts, but it seems to stumble after about 40 minutes of driving on a level surface but a quick pump of the pedal helps it adjust, also sometimes it stumbles through acceleration you know when I am going to pass a car, it stumbles( you can hear the engine pitch rev then then decel) I am really stumped. I think it is electrical, maybe even a throttle position sensor but I am just lost. I just want to do what I can for it, I love my car! Thanks for any and all info, Mikki
