Hi all:
test drove this 2000 yesterday for about 10 mins. Thought the trans shifting gears was not the smoothest (I mean it was readily noticeable) when I was driving it. But also, I put it on a patch of dirt and set it to low gear while in Neutral. When I shifted to Drive, the car would lurch forward. Not a head jerking hit, but still noticeable, would move and not stay in place. This true whether the 2nd start and center diff lock were engaged or not (IIRC not sure).
Forgot to look up the idle RPM. Engine was probably warm by then (after about 5 mins drive). I was told the trans fluid was just changed. Truck has 45K on the clock.
Any idea whether this is serious or not and what could be the cause of this?
thanks
Eric
