1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Logo
Maurice Knapp Posted on Feb 25, 2013

Hello I just had the oil changed and a new feul filter put plus transmision oil but my cruiser station wagon seems to shudder an not responsive while driving, but in idal it runs fine it only has 1120

Like I said because it was running fine a few hours ealier then all of the sudden it started acting like it was starving for feul so I had the routine oil and got a radiator flush and then had them put a new gass filter on and new trans oil but still acting up. It runs perfect in park but when I put it in drive it shudders and takes a long time to get going well not a real long time but a few seconds or more then shifts into other gears. do you think that it could be timming or linkage.

SOURCE: I have a 1992 Oldsmobile Delta 88, and it has the

One of three things. Inside the trans are clutches, bands, sprags and planetaries. I believe that either a set of clutches is sticking together or the input sparg is not free wheeling when it is suppose to or the parking pawl is sticking in place until you free it.

There is not much you can do. The only possible item that can be added that might help is called Lube Gaurd In the red bottle. other than that you will have to pull the trans and repair it.

Hope this helps.
just to let you know, I worked for GM from 90-93 rebuilding those transmissions. I have rebuilt as least 500 of them. I could rebuild them blindfolded, (No kidding, blind folded)

Would the inline feul pump in the feul tank cause the motor to run to rich .if you put your foot down the power drops out .vy commodore station wagon.done 320000 kms.

No what you are describing is lack of air through the intake.
Rich means lack of air or too much fuel. Fuel pressure remains constant and drops when the accelerator is pressed down if the pump is bad, the fuel filter is plugged or there is an injector problem or a fuel pressure regulator issue (if one is present) and this results in lean running engines.

Subaru legacy 1997 shudders when accelerating through changing gears car is automatic

if this happens while the engine is cold please run it idle once to start in the morning then drive and if it does always then. put the gear to neutral with the brakes on and push the accelerator slowly to higher side to see if engine is smooth if it shakes or shudders or engine seems to un stable use carburettor cleaner with the engine roaring say around 2000-2500 rpm. just spray from the opening intake of the air filter on top of the engine. spray two to three times, if it does not work remove the top cover of air filter remove the air filter and close the cover then try again. if it still does not help take the car to service station to check for all hydraulic oil and clutch oil. are you sure that engine oil is on top indicator or it is low. this could also be the reason and the engine could cease also.better first check for the engine oil level on the oil dipstick.usually located near the fan belts of the engine front side

You change fluid because it breaks down from the
heat,one of it's main jobs is to remove heat

Fluid is not a fix for anything

Sounds as though your due for a rebuild

There are no new transmissions
Only new one time, when it is built

I have a 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer that seems to be losing oil pressure then dying. I just changed the oil and the levels are fine. Not sure where to start... any ideas?

if this just started when you changed the oil and filter,then it might be the filter,it did it in my 89 jeep so i changed the filter to another brand and my oil pressure came back to normal.so i would recomend and stp or k&n or wix filter.if that doesnt then start looking at the oil pressure sensor and wire lead.you could also use a mechanical oil pressure guage and check it that way to.

How can i change the transmision oil?

You have to drop the transmission pan and it's a mess. Or you can take get to a service center and let them do it for about $129 - $200 which they will flush the trans out and put a filter and new gasket back on it and fill it up with trans fluid.
