Subject:Help unusual? bucking
From:CHRISTOPHER FRYER
Date:Sat, 26 Aug 2000 17:25:36 EDT

hello, i have searched the archives so please dont flame me for that, but most
of the situations in which bucking occures for the majority? of people is at
highway speeds (please correct me if im wrong) i am at a fairly normal
elevation, not in a mountain or anything, and it has just started occuring to
a degree where i am in fear of being stranded somewhere. so heres my backround
info.
i just had my driveshaft joints replaced, new clutch, new exhaust
(disconnecting o2 sensor does nothing to help) and had a minor tune up, i
think he adjusted my throttle, thats the only thing i can think of that maybe
he could have done, as i didn't notice it before, but i also had such a rattle
that i didnt worry about anything else. mine doesnt occur at highway speeds at
all, in fact over 45 it runs smoother than i ever remember it. it usually
occurs downshifting in the range of 2000 to 2700 rpms and pushing the clutch
in stops this. also starting has become much more difficult, sometimes it
takes 4 or 5 tries to start. please, any help that can be given would be much
appreciated.
thank you
