got it home checked it over and the CEL was off but had a code random misfire .Checked it out an had a bad Distr rotor button , install a new cap an rotor ran like a champ and shifted fine...But when it was running or every now and then caused the tranny to act up!

So I got a 4500 car for 380 bucks and sold it for 4100...... Sucks I know this stuff and he didnt but isnt my fault!


So the reason for my story is check your engine and make sure everything is fine an running like a champ and then if it still acts weird check the tranny out...But I think you don't have a tranny issue at this time...Best of luck Joshua
I agree. I bought my 90 F-150 for $1000 because it had a bad fuel pump apparently... well the safety cut off got tripped Then it shuddered bad when shifting, was a miss-fire issue.
