Re: 1999 SOCH auto transmission problems

Re: 1999 SOCH auto transmission problems

Re: 1999 SOCH auto transmission problems
The saturn is now registered and legal to drive. I got it up to 45 MPH. While maintaining 35MPH, the engine seems to go about 2900-3000 RPM, but at exactly 40 under the same conditions, the RPM drops...

Re: 1999 SOCH auto transmission problems
