Transmission

[HELLBENT93]

What are some of the signs that the trans on a SHO is about to go?

That's weird - I was just gonna post the same question....

My 93 MTX - finally back from the shop after 6 months of them trying to fix the electrical problem - is running pretty swell right now. But I am still having a "chuggin" problem - usually in 3rd or 4th gear on the highway when I go to accelerate. The car jolts a bit then kicks in.

I had this problem originally - they said it was spark plug cables. It worked fine after that for a few weeks and then the problem progressively came back. So they put new cables on and then it was fine. I just recently got a new timing belt and CPS - which is making the car run great (just got it back yesterday) - but it's still having the chugging problem....is this possibly the transmission "slipping"? Please Help someone...

much thanks

Hey I have that same chuggin problem in my 93 atx i think it has something to do with the overdrive not working on my car. what kind of symptoms did your car have before you replaced the cps?

Well, I had the chugging problem - which I was hoping was the CPS - but now that the car is back - it's still doing it (less extensively, but still doing it...)

so I am hopping that chugging is not "slipping" from the transmission.....but I don't know

If you could elaborate on what "chuggin" means I think more people could help you.

Well lets see, the first thing you would notice is that it is an ATX. Then you will realize that you have't replaced it in a year. So it is about time

I know what "chugalug" means.

Seriously, the problem must be in the ignition system. Because, when new wires were installed, the SHO performed ok for a short period. Check all the wires pertaining to this, not just the ones for spark plugs.
