I have an 01 v6 auto. Recently when I accelerate between 1500 and 3000 rpm the engine feels like it wants to stall(it jolts/doesnt respond). Because I already changed my plugs & wires, & i also cleaned the injectors with injector fluid cleaner, my mechanic says it might be the timing belt or the computer. Have any of you guys had this problem or have any suggestions... thanks.

 

do you have an automatic? old fluid will cause a shudder, if you haven't had a tranny flush in awhile get one done and it may take care of the shudder

 

it hasnt gotten a flush in... how would i do that or could i get it done at an oil change place?

 

to do a real flush you'll want to take it to a shop. you can change the fluid and that always helps, but a good flush will do more for yah.

check around on prices though, some places will really try and get cha for that.

 

yeah go to a local mechanic that can do a transmission flush, it will run $80-$100 at least where i'm at and it will be well worth the cost.

 

my shop does a full BG tranny flush for $150. definitly one of those things you want to do every 50K. keep your baby moving smooth and steady.

before you do it, think about adding a tranny oil cooler installed.... really keep her running forever.

 

How is a tranny flush better than dropping the pan, draining everything including the torque converter, and replacing the filter?

In a flush, the same old filter staysin there, right?

 

good question.

if it's anything like when BG does the ignition cleaning i would assume they hook up something and actually do a drain then clean, then fill kind of deal.

it's better in the way of it costs less would be my guess.

please correct me if i'm wrong

 

Co-worker with a Jeep was quoted $140 for a flush. Replacing fluid and filter was $80. She went with the $80.

 

well what happens with a flush is they hook up a pump and actually pull and flush all the fluid out.

on an auto transmission not all the fluid is just in the pan. it's in the TC, the lines. just dropping the pan and cleaning out doesn't take care of all of the fluid.
