Alright, this problem only seems to accur when I wash the car. I know what a few of you will say... "then don't wash it" so we'll just for go that joke...

When the car is washed top to bottom. I go for a drive afterwards and I can feel a slip in the drive train somewhere? I've peeked under the car and can't seem to find the problem? What could be getting wet that would cause this? I feel it mostly in the 60mph area around 2500rpm's. When I kick it in the guts. My trans fluid is full and new. The tranny itself was rebuilt only 8000 miles ago. I'm thinking the u-joint or yoke maybe? Or could it be the gears?

I could use some expert help on this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

What do you mean slip in the drivetraine? as in the tranny not shifting right?


I would think it's an electrical problem, with the distributor cap or something like that.

 

feels like teeth not locking up. you know what I mean? Like a sputter between gears...... which leads me to believe the drive train after the tranny. Another insight on it?

 

Did you detail under the hood? If so, it sounds like water in the distributor to me.
