Default tranny shifts weird..

i am starting to notice the tranny is shifting weird. if you are crusing and hit the gas sometimes it shifts really hard into gear. sometimes it feels like it's soft and takes a sec or 2 to get into gear.. is this normal for the car?? I checked the fluid and it's ok.. smells and looks ok also..

I've felt the same thing at times. I think it really depends on how fast you're going, how much you let off and then get back into the gas, etc. That's why I prefer a manual transmission...

Same here. Wasn't "harsh" enough for me to start complaining about it, but i've been keeping my eye on it. Every once in a while, i'll find that "sweet spot" that causes a little surge or bucking feeling...but on the whole it isn't horrible.

Keep in mind, as it's been discussed before, an over-oiled air filter can contaminate the MAF and cause similar issues. For me, i've made sure to clean my MAF on a regular basis to rule this possibility out...check yours, as i noticed you are also running an intake.

Yeah, that's the scenario most of the time with me.
