Hello all. I am new to the forum having recently puchased a 1998 car. Its a lovely car, tons of car for the money - now I am just setting about tidying the loose ends - great thing is other than the nearside washer jets not working - and a missing / broken throttle pedal there is very little wrong!
One thing, its an auto box - and when crusing at aroound 40mph with very light throttle, it tends to .. stutter. Thats the best way I can explain is.. like the sort of thing old cars did when you were trying to move very slowly in traffic.. is that normal - or perhaps a Torque convertor oil change might help as I have read elsewhere. Otherwise its as smooth as you like, not problems changing gear.. Any pointers welcome. Thanks
