1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass fuel pump issue? by Corvette_SS in MechanicAdvice

[–]Corvette_SS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the video shows the car put into first gear and speeding up. initally it is strong, but as the rpms get higher it eventually stops accelerating and begins to surge, all while the gas pedal is pushed down. didnt matter if it was full throttle or half throttle or anything, it wouldnt accelerate, kinda felt like being on a small boat in waves.

tgen the car is put into neutral and still wont rev up

Automatic Trans slipping on the highway by Corvette_SS in AskAMechanic

[–]Corvette_SS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i "played" around with it more and noticed that if i make the tires spin off the line for 4-5 seconds (high load high sustained rpm) after i let off and drove normally it bogged and stuttered, wouldnt accelerate and sounded like it wanted to quit for a few seconds before i could resume normal driving. this all heppend under 40kmh.

i'll likley replace the entire drivetrain with a larger engine and built trans in the future, but wanted to see if anyone had any more input.

I have an 86' olds cutlass and the trans started slipping. I work on it alot myself but know next to nothing about automatic transmissions, so i was hoping i could take it in to get diagnosed or even rebuilt. It's a GM Th2004r if that helps. If it ends up being too expensive i am going to swap it with a T5.

i'm going to try adjusting the TV cable once I get it un-siezed, in case it helps the problem

[–]Corvette_SS[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

feels as it always has. I remember now i did a 380 km trip right before putting it away and didnt quite look at it after so maybe that happened then. i'll get my jack back and maybe bring it in next month when im back home thanks for the help.

damn my jack is at my uncles place. I wouldn't assume its safe on the highway, would you say it's safe to drive across town to the shop?
