1997 firebird 3.8L V6 Hey guys whats up, looking for some help with an issue with my
1997 Firebird 3.8L V6
Currently shes got 51k miles on her, excellent condition
I bought this car from carmax around 04' november, and only thing thats been replaced since i bought it was the alternator
Right now my problem is my automatic trans. and need your opinions!
The current problem with the car is that when i really punch the car off the line, my car shutters and studders while its accelerating... this leads me to believe that my auto trans is the source of the problem. My auto trans also studders my car when its in high gears around 50-55mph and i am forced to accelerate inorder to stop it from chokeing itself.
Now what i mean when it shudders or studder is that the car actually chokes on itself while its accelerating off the line as well as in high gears, the cars tends to basically pull back on itself. lol right now its basically like driving a honda civic basic stock model trying to acclerate.... thats how bad im forced to accelerate the car. ; ; please list your opinions on if you think it is the transmission or anything related to these symptoms ive listed. Thank you.

there are no lights on my dash...
Any opinions?
was thinking about using STP super concentrated fuel injection cleaner, and buying a new air filter and fuel filter since they are cheap.
Should i use the STP super concentrated fuel injection cleaner or should i use the STP fuel injection/carb cleaner version?
