2nd gear is bad well today i was driving its fine in 1st then it ***** to second and at the very first of second gear its as if i am getting held back..and it gradually gets out of it and goes to normal rest of the time..anyoen got ideas as to what it could be..its an automatic.
do you have a shift kit? if so what kind? a couple things could be happening. low/reverse clutch circuit maybe sticking, or a check ball may have forcing its way through the seperator plate, weak 1/2 accumulator spring, sticking 2/4 servo, or the 2/4 band is about worn. does the engine rev up during these shifts or no? also, what does the fluid look like/ smell like?

ya i put it in reverse and it did teh studder thing.
edit: its hard ot explain what it does in first and in reverse all i can say is that get in your car and rock yourself slightly front to back...thats what happens to me ..it also started a slight wine today..and i noticed at cruising i let off teh gas and it felt like i hit the mud puddle again jsut started lagging back..

not that i can think of, short of taking it apart. if i am right, though, i still think a shift kit will help. it may just be a sticking shuttle valve in the valvebody anyway(the work you'd do to put in a shift kit would fix that also).
