Problem here

damdog05 · 12-17-2006, 05:56 AM

recently when i drive my car, i notice momentary interruptions in performance. it only happens in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear as far as i can tell, and only at or above 3500 rpm. when i get in that range my car will start to jerk a bit, like its lost all power then gets it back the next instant. im going to do a diagnostic test tomorrow and i will post the results, but until then if someone has any ideas id really appreciate hearing them. im also going to rev the engine to 3500rpm in neutral to see if its most likely an engine or tranny problem. its a 86.5 n/a manual. is there a way to do a diagnostic test on the tranny? thanks for your help
