Hi,
I just had a 2800$ Trany + Clutch replacememnt, and two new alternators. The car was running good for 2 weeks. Now everytime I am driving, when I take off (5spd) if I give it too much gas (which is halfway down on pedal) the car starts bucking (hard mind-you) and will do it through 3rd, unless I barely give it gas. I've been told by a guy at autozone that it is do to my "Vacuum hose." Any ideas on if this is correct? If you need more details, please ask. As far as I know that's all the car does. If it IS the vacuum hose, then i'm curious as to if this easy to replace, or let my mechanic do it? Thanx in advance for the  !

I'm having the same issue and now my rpm needle is acting weird all on it's own too, so I'm starting to think something's up with the RPM signal or TPS. Things I've replaced or checked with no luck: plug wires and plugs, fuel filter, & MAF. Gotta hook up the OBD2 software to see if that sheds any light on it - may be a fuel issue though (pump or injectors)??
