Description of the problem | When accelerating, it nose dives at around 30 to 45 mph, depending on how hard one is accelerating. I believe this is caused by a shift sensor because it acts like it lets go of the gear and after a second or two it engages into the next gear. This happens every time one wants to go over 50 mph. Also, when coming a complete stand still stop and then star to accelerate, it hesitates a bit and it makes a bumping movement, like the transmission didn't downshifted into 1st gear automatically, and does it so after one presses on the accelerator, thus causing it to downshift to 1st from 3rd and i believe this is why i feel the bumping movement and slight hesitation to accelerate immediately. It doesn't do it all the time and i have not studied it to pinpoint why or when it will do this, but i can tell right before it is going to do it because it is in 3rd gear and when i release the brake, the car won't move forward as quickly as it would if it was in 1st gear. |
