Can somebody explain what a car does when the transmission is slipping or going out on a car? The transmission in my rice burner is acting up, I believe. I put it in overdrive with I'm going 50 and over. If I stay a steady speed and am on flat or slight hill it starts to shake. I have to either give it more gas or let off to make it stop.
When you say "shake" do you mean a fairly high speed vibration? If so I would first check the driveline for bad "U" joints if it's a rear wheel drive or CV joints if front wheel drive. You should be able to duplicate the fault in lower gears at reduced speeds in most cases of joint failure.

This can also be caused by other faults such as motor mounts, bent axles, bad wheel bearings and the list goes on. If you can get your mechanic to go for a test drive.

Good luck.

Mike

Happy Anniversary Bill & Brenda! I hope you two have many more years!

I know what it sounds like when the cv joints are going out. It's a front wheel drive car. Isn't when the cv joints are going out more of a clicking sound?

Does it lose power when it starts to happen? And then it feels like you have to finesse the gas pedal to get it running smooth again?

I had a similiar issue with a chevy celebrity and I believe it was the computer not giving the proper gas/air mixture. But if i finessed the gas pedal i could get it to go away. It started happening after me and my friends installed an aftermarket stereo in the car and clipped some wires we shouldn't have.

Heck Angie, go ahead and put it in Craigslist, it's free and you can always lower the price in a week and who knows, you might have a bite at that price
