need quick advise on my 5.0 foxbody

Horseyxpowered · August 28th, 2011, 04:59 PM

i just drove it 90 miles up to school and i noticed some issues. When im driving at about 60,70,80 miles an hour it almost feels like the tires are skipping beats. instead of going a full 360 rotation it feels like it dont do it smoothly. when im at low speed 20-50 itfeels like its really hesitating. hard shifts, like the tires are studering ? alot of rumble and jerking around when driving. hesitation is the best word. it may have a shift kit in it. IT is a AOD transmission. could it need transition work? please help me and tell me what i should do.

Can you get it on a dyno? Just to see if the trans is susceptable. If not, try and get it on jack stands and run it through the gears and see if anything is weird like shifting etc. Watch the tires to see if it wobbles, etc. And try to pay attention to the rear end if the axles make noise and also the differential too.Try and get the rim/tires to a tire shop and see if its balances right and check if the rims are straight. The very least, get the rear end apart, the front end spindle bearings, etc. I highly suspect the trans itself though. How old is the tires? Was the car in a accident? You may want to swap around the rim/tires just to see if it changes (can you borrow a set from a friend?)
