It sounds like the transmission fluid's viscosity is too high when cold and comes within range after warming up ... When was the last time the transmission fluid was changed?

I had bad experience with the Lemforder ca bushings sold in separate boxes... but maybe what they put in the ca sold as a unit is better quality.. how knows. These days the market is moving a lot with suppliers changes. Only long term will tell.. On the other side the IPD HD arm seems to be holding ...

Hello Ask a friend to bring his car close and to keep it's engine running. Careful not to have the cars touching each other. Insert your key in Pos II (stamped on the side of the barrel) Careful using the battery jumping cables: always keep each alligator with a different hand to not let them touch ...

If they are just throwing parts at it, you add labor costs to the cost of good parts replacement. My 1999 had a hose split that came and went, causing rough cold idle, that showed nicely on fue...

It's mounted onto the inercooler with a tiny plastic torx screw. List all the codes then repor...

Throttle is electronic-drive by wire on this year/model. Vibration you're feeling in the pedal would be coming through what it's attached to: the firewall. So an attempt to make it better (?) would probably involve looking at anything that would transfer engine vibrations into that area: rear subfra...
