:dsm: Hello Everyone,
I am experiencing a problem with my car and it is beginning to have me concerned. I own a '96 GSX. Sometimes when I pull away from a complete stop, the car seems to studder, or perhaps jump/skip a couple times, and then pull away. What could this possibly be? I was told that if the car was towed incorrectly (not on a flatbed), the viscous diff would be destroyed and this may be the problem. Or perhaps the clutch is beginning to fail?
I would appreciate all ideas. THANKS GUYS!!! :dsm:
 
You can try changing your tranny fluid to a good syntheic or you might have to get your flywheel resurfaced. When a fly starts to get heat spots it starts to make the car studder more. Try changing the fluid first. I had the same problem and changed to fluid to mobil 1 75w 90 syntheic and it shifts and drives great now.
