It has been happening for MONTHS.

First off Whenever i get up to 25-30mph the rpms wil be at 2000-2500 and when the spedmonitor hits 25-30 my car will jerk forward real quick. i cant explain it. it feels as if the car got hit by a huge gust of wind from the front and slows down for a second. then the rpms will jump up about 500 or so rpm for a quick second and go back to 1500 rpm and stay there even at 40mph

and then if im above 30mph and i just let the car coast without pushing the gas pedal as it comes below 30 the car will do the same thing. jerk real quick and feel as if it just slowed down real fast for a second. it is VERY onnying.

ALSO!!!! when it jerks forward and if im still on the pedal the car will make a weird sqealing sound intill i let off the pedal or push on it hard and make the engine rev hard the noise happens ONLY at 25-40mph. if i get to above 40 mph the car jerks again and the noise stops. sounds like a belt or something but my freind said nothing is wrong with any belts

I checked my ATF fluid and it is brown. i got it flushed and new fluid was put in. the car feels alittle but smoother now when driving but it still jerks around 25 mph and makes that sqealing sound.

my friend did my sparkplugs and 2 of them where blown. they had white stuff all over the tip. we replaced them but it does not seem to make the car run any better.

And is it normal for the car to feel sluggish like it lost horsepower with the heat or ac on?

Does it only do it with the ac or heat on? Is there a check engine light on?

No it does it at all times.

when the ac or heat is on the car just feels real sluggish.

no check engine light.




a couple months ago i spilled soda on the center console. i cleaned it all up but i noticed today that there is water or goo coming out of the sides of the console. i want to remove the console and clean in there but i cant find a way to open it. I used a screw driver to take that little rubber piece off where the shifter is and i saw gears. the gears all have orange gooey stuff on them. is that normal like lubricant or something or is it my soda?????


Could that be my problem?????

It shouldn't be the shifter, get the computors scanned for codes before going any further.

How would i do that? is it the scanner advanced auto parts uses or somehting else

Yes, you can go to Advance Auto Parts or AutoZone, they should both be able to scan.

nope. no codes......now what?

Do you think the sqealing noise that happens when im on the gas pedal at around 25-40 mph can be a belt? it stops if i pound the gas. but comes back everytime.

is there a belt somewhere that changes the gears?? maybe the belt is broke/loose and cant grab ahold of the gear or something?

a freind of mine said all the belts are fine.

I still get the sqealing sound and jerk at 30mph. it feels like the engine is braking.

i dont know what the problem could be but im gonna just deal with it and hope its nothing.
