My tranny likes to buck a little when stuck in major rush hour traffic at low speeds. I'll tap the gas or I'll let off the gas and it'll buck a little. I think I read that the DMD helps a little (even though I know its an engine mod). My tranny has NO problems shifting in gear or staying in gear. Its smooth shifting. Any ideas, suggestions, or mods to help me out? 1998 T-Red SVT #957 Born 5/14/1997

I do have some tranny problems but I believe this one is related to a bad rear motor mount/roll restrictor. 1999 Silver Frost SVT #609 of 2760 Quaife, lightened SVT Flywheel, SPEC stage II clutch, removed resonator, k&n drop in - various other goodies too.

My theory is that when I let off the gas the RPM fell too fast due some MAF/IAC issue. Also had very rough idle for the same issue, much better now. One more related issue, drive at a steady 25-30mph in 2nd in slight downhill and quickly take your foot off the gas. It used to buck for me (same reason). Tiv

Yep, remove the MAF sensor. (comes right after the airbox and has a black rectangular top the size of a match box, held by 2 'security' torx screws). Short procedure: 1. Disconnect ECU / battery / whatever to power it down 2. Disconnect MAF electrical connector 3. Remove 2 security torx screws (you'll need a T-20 (IIRC) bit with a hole in the middle) 4. Pull the MAF sensor, be extra careful, its fragile. Don't touch the sensor wires. It has 2 thin wires a bit similar of a light bulb's 5. Spray it liberally with a "O2 sensor safe" Carb cleaner until clean. 6. Dry it. 7. Put it back in reverse order. T.
