mine does this sometimes when i hit the gas real hard and it drops a gear, its like it misses a gear then clunks into the gear. I hate it, so i would appretiate any info also.

check your transmission fluid level. if it is too low it sometimes lags before engaging then hits real hard. this is not good for your teg.

nope not that.. pour that fluid in

yea i just had my 90k mile service and they put new tranny fluid in. Although it did help, b/c it doesn't do it as often.

Check it yourself. My dad refused to believe his car's stalling problem was due to low ATF because they had just serviced the car. I checked it and low and behold the dipstick was bone dry

 

[JJSurfer]

yea i guess i should, even though i dont have a clue about trannys, but thats what the manual and this site is for

id check to see if its the shift silenoids
i once owned an auto and that was the problem for me
theyre a very expensive part though
i got mine used for 150
so if anyone needs them let me know

i think the other guys are more accurate in pointing out the tranny but also check your vacuum hoses (pcv, egr, etc) when your idle is out of whack. sometimes it can be hard to tell so just replace them. after all theyre 10 years old. few bucks for peace of mind
