auto shagged or normall?

[s1knt]

i test drove a auto vs, when i sat directly 80k's the car shook/vibrated like shit the owner rambled off some lame excuse. also i took it up the biggest hill i knew of and i had my foot to the floor and it was struggling and would not drop back a gear, is this normally? or shagged?

yeah sounds like it's farked for sure, I know the auto's will hit over drive once ya hit 80, but if it's a bung trans and it's having issue's knocking back a gear probably not worth your while!!!

My VS also vibrates at about 78 - 80k's. No idea what it is but i havent seen any manifestation of the problem.

Vibrations from 80-120 ish in 3rd gear is usually the gear box mount ^

Could be ignition, injectors, blocked cat etc or auto problems........though at 80ks the TCC will usually lockup and if the clutch is buggered it can vibrate a bit....but it should have kicked back when pedal to the metal which can indicate engine problems.
