Hey I have this problem where I will be driving and it seems like my 88 cant decide which gear to stay in like go from 3rd to 4th like in and out. Also it will act like I have 5 gears, almost like my torque converter will lock up and the rpm's will drop really low and act like a damn diesal till I about half throttle it and it kicks back up. Does anyone know what this is and how much it would cost to fix?? Also I have a random check engine light that comes on when I just drive around town and it seems like when it does come on my 88 gets really sluggish. Thx guys hope you can help

 

i am just taking a guess ... maybe vacuum?

 

so it doesnt slip or anything? you could be that u need a new fliter. how does it work when u manually change gears??

 

A new filter? ? Where? When I manually change the gears it just kicks like the 700 always does. I mean I am maybe thinking its the TorqueConverter. Its almost like its unlocking and locking all the time.
