surging and lagging vx commodore transmission

[teamboc8]

I have a vx commodore with a lagging and seems to be surging transmission!

i have heard anything from as simple as a spark plug or a lead,who knows in most cases if this is the main thing that makes it play up.

I travel on the slighest incline and i have to manually put it back to 3rd because it just won't kick back without having a cough a fart and a bit of a kick all at once.I have also tried putting it in drive with handbrake on and foot on brake and accelerate a bit to see if it misses but can't feel anything un normal.

Any advice would be great thanks guys and girls.

Could even be a blockage in the fuel system. I had a similar issue with old car. Fuel filter was ####ed.

Hey bro, <br />
<br />
Most Likely it's your torque converter locking up.<br />
<br />
It will only happen when cruising at a constant speed example probably between the 78-83km range and will sometimes happen when you drive up a steep road.<br />
And if you were to put ur foot down to let the transmission pass that range it feels like it's struggles to pick up speed and will make that noise. <br />
<br />
Pop down to an auto transmission specialist and let them hear the sound they will be able to tell u If it is the torque converter for sure.<br />
<br />
If it is will cost roughly about $700 to a crazy $2500 job. <br />
So make sure u search around as many of them will wana rip you off telling u it's a very big job. <br />
They have to pull the trans out to change the torque converter and will service it upon request also.<br />
<br />
Above info is only from past experience and is for your reference to help u out so don't quote me on anything. lol<br />
<br />
I hope Iv helped <br />
<br />
Cheers. <br />
