I have a 94 teg ls, auto, totally stock, with 130k miles.

The transmission tends to be really jerky when shifting into gears, and it seems like it doesn't want to downshift when passing someone on the freeway.

I recently drained and refilled the tranny fluid with castrol dexron 3 fluid, that helped a LOT...but after a while the jerky shifting was back.

I drained and refilled it again, and the jerky shifting is still there.

On another note, I get a bouncing idle when its cold (TPS sensor?)

Any ideas? Or is it time for a tranny rebuild

 

try hacing your um what sit called it hink its the shift cable adjusted, i had an auto before and when the tranny fucked up by jerking when it shifts all the guy did was adjust the shift cable and it worked fine, but it might be a good idea to go ahead and have ur **** rebilt you should really swap over to 5spd tho

 

Shift cable? Any more info on where its at, how to adjust it? Search yielded nothing useful.

Thanks

Anyone else?

 

bump, the problem persists and is very annoying

 

Tranny flushes (the one that acutally use a machine to run tranny fluid with detergents thoughtout the tranny) work pretty well, in your case, it maybe that the tranny is worn out.
Mr. Tex seems to be recommending the shift cable.?

 

im me, if you need a new transmission, I have them in stock, check the sig

automatic transmission with that high of a mileage, usually, its just wear and tear
