Sounds like transmission speed sensor.

 

[SHOBOYV1]

Definately a bad VSS. If you can drop the y pipe it is actually a simple job to replace.

 

[SHOBOYV1]

thanks to everyone that chimed in.it seems to be unanimous.i will post results tmrw

 

[SHOBOYV1]

well the weather kept me from getting under the car today but im real excited to see if the speed sensor fixes the problem.hopefully the weather breaks tmrw and i can get out and get this done.

if the speed sensor isnt the problem then check the wiring loom at the back of the motor as they tend to rub the wires until the wiring shorts out when the motor moves during acceleration....can make a computer go bad as well1

I had the same problem with and it was the VSS.

or time for 5 speed

 

[SHOBOYV1]

5/speeds rule

i have to agree.i have had two 5/speeds and that is one thing i never worried about and that was the tranny.also my 5/speeds were 92 so i didnt have to worry about the egr woes either.oh those were the days

 

[SHOBOYV1]

thank you rick-ng.i am hoping for the vss to fix it but i definatly will check the wire loom.good looking out

 

[SHOBOYV1]

i would love for my 93 to be a 5/speed

 

[SHOBOYV1]

thanx jmp-SHO.i knew i couldnt be the only one.

I hope you're not still driving it because those hard shifts will **** and ATX transmission like I did and I am in the process of gathering parts to do an MTX swap.

Change out that VSS asap, I replaced mine like 5 times and I can do it in about 10 mins after the exhaust is down.

 

[SHOBOYV1]

i am going to replace the vss asap.i have to take it to a frineds house to use his jack.

 

[SHOBOYV1]

hey guyz were do ifind a set of hard motor mounts?

 

[jmpSHO]

I think SHO Source sells reinforced motor mounts.
