Most 94's had problems with the tranny. The harder the car's were run the worse off and more frequently it was. $2500 is a good price if he gets the tranny fixed first.

Just did plugs for someone the other day, I'd have to say #2 is the worst. Stock car, all the stuff was there in the way.

First, I was on the understanding that 94 and up need to flash the ECM so if you were told it had a chip you may want to check into that.

Second, you need that tuned ECM redone. My trans had damn near the same behaviour with kickdown and hanging in gear with no upshift. I got mine redone by a guy on here and now my shifts are 1000x's better.

Hope that helps.
