Haha now that its summer I have some more free time on my hands since I'm not working yet to do **** like that. However starting in a week or so, back to the 9-5 life for me I think. Which means money though

hey guys i have a question,,, would a bad transmission cause the car to stutter at idle?
i took it for a quick drive to see how it was driving, it stuttered a random speeds, it shifted rough,
and at idle it also stuttered, i could see the engine move (as if it was coughing lol) when i looked under the hood.
is this also normal for a bad tranny?

No, I meant like move forward? Honestly, it sounds like the same problem I had, a very bad/selective misfire. Have you checked all your spark plug wire connections at the coil and plugs?
It's hard to diagnose over the internet but I thought my Trans. was dying because it would jerk and ****** only in Overdrive, then it got worse..., ended up being a spark plug wire melted across the ERG tube right over where it connects to the manifold.

I'm not denying that lol, just odd that the car would act like that in park unless there was Another problem somewhere else too.
Guys, I can't have anything nice
I was visiting my girlfriend last night and on my way home today I was about to get off of the highway and hit a back road, and as soon as I got into the right lane, I was behind a truck pulling a tractor. Guess what happens? The Tractors hood blows the f*** off and hits my f****** car. Guy keeps going so I'm left sitting on the side of the road with my thumb up my *** and a messed up front bumper again.
