Okay, so I have a 1988 Dodge Daytona shelby-z 2.2 turbo with an AUTOMATIC transmission... I have been having some major issues with this car, and unfortunately, my mechanic and I have been unable to determine what's going on... If you can solve the problem than you ARE MY GOD!!!
Anyway, so I'll start from the very beginning.
The first problem happened when I was turning onto a street. The street is a very steep hill. I started to go pretty fast up the hill (Yea, i was gunning it) and suddenly the car began to jerk around violently! It felt like it was shifting back and forth into gears very quickly. Then, the car stalled.
That's my problem, my car's been stalling, and I'm thinking its something to do with this incident, and my transmission... Okay, more facts.
It doesn't seem to matter if the car is hot, cold, been running for a while or just started up, idling, driving slow, driving fast, or shifting gears, it stalls completely randomly!
Another thing I noticed is that when I come to a stop sometimes, my car won't shift back into first gear. I know this because if I use the manual override in the center console (The P-R-D-2-1) and set it to 1, the car will go into first gear... But sometimes, it won't do it on its own...
Okay, so what could be doing this??? Any help would be super appreciated, and all info will most likely be going to my mechanic.
Remember, the car stalls randomly, even when idling... I should say when the car is idling in Drive, I haven't stalled it while idling in Park yet. If you solve this case of who-dunnit, I will bestow upon you 1000 good virgins!!!
