Clear....i thort that was a bit weird

[Zuicider]

clear fluid in your transmission should be red

wipe the oild on a paper towl, if its still clear u either have water in there..... or maybe synthetic type oil in there??? or some weird ass oil haha

I'd check your ignition system first as your symptoms sound more like missing under load than a transmission problem (and a lot cheaper to fix!) - I'd replace the plugs and leads if more than a year old and make sure the leads are pushed onto the coils and plugs properly. Good Luck.

The vs was renound from new with a shudder partiulary in 1st under hard acceceration and there is nothing you can do.
