Transmission Lurch 900 96

posted by  someone claiming to be Mark Brown on  Mon May 14 03:15 CST 2001 [RELATED]

We have a 1996 960 wagon with about 78K miles on it. When going uphill at approx. 40-45mph, I am feeling a decided lurch or shuddering. The engine is turning at approx. 1600-1700 rpm, so it must be in 4th gear. Based upon the FAQ's, I am thinking that I probably need to flush and change the A/T fluid, since I don't believe that it has been done. I am assuming that I can follow the 960/90 Fluid Flush instructions from Mike Hale that is in the archives. Any other thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Mark

Don't forget the filter. I had a flush but no filter change. Trans slips a little on takeoff but is rock solid afterwards. I need a new filter.

Flush is best, use synthetic too, if possible.

Change the Fluid. A flush is extremely easy if you connect a 3/8 in i.d. hose to the cooler port on the radiator. Give it a shot, more than likely it will help.
