I have a 1994 with an Automatic 4x4. A week or so ago I began to notice that under stiff acceleration my transmission is acting differently. In first gear it always performs normally, but once it switches to second gear or third gear it seems to lose power, and the tachometer will either slightly spike, or maintain a constant level of RPMs while the speed gains for a while, like it will hover at 2500 RPM while the speed goes from 25-35 MPH before moving up any. I think something is giving somewhere in order for it to maintain the same RPMs but produce more speed. Torque Converter, transmission? I'm not sure. I checked the fluid hot while running in park, and it is fine. If the thing is going out I would like to know so I can arrange a fix, new car, or otherwise. If it is a part that is going out that can be fixed before the whole thing tanks, I would like to know as well.
What do you think?
