Arrow Anyone ever had tranny problems?

My car shifts like glass...sometimes if i punch the gas pedal the tranny feels like it jumps a little...not the sheer power, but the tranny...this may be normal, i dont know...You all have to remember im coming from a car with 3 trannies in only 73K miles...i may be a little skeptical of a smooth tranny when i see one...Just wondering if any of you all experience this...Also, wondering if any of you all have had to replace a tranny in the GS...Shyne

hahaha, take a deep breath shyne. this is no tl (sorry, but i am speaking the truth), you don't worry about tranny here. engine and tranny, probably two strongest parts of the car i would say. even if you put in the more aggressive tq converter, as long as you do the correct cooling with the tranny cooler, your tranny is just going to be as strong.

so don't worry about the tranny, it's strong

I anticipate my tranny going out shortly. So far so good. Just waiting for the day.
