Default tranny slipping?

Okay so for the last two or so days when I am driving along, just on a normal roads normal speed, then BAM feels like I just hit a ****ing dog! I was like O.o and kept driving then BAM "another dog" only does it maybe every 10 mins not like every sec, kinda feels like a miss fire I am not sure almost feels like the drive shaft, tranny, OR the differ, is slipping.. any ideas?

Check your tranny fluid. If there isnt enough it'll slip and if your on the gas while its slipping, it'll jerk when it catches

Merged your duplicate threads..

Could also be an ignition coil going out periodically.

it's a 93 don't think it has coils, but so you were driving down the road just jammin out, and feels like something is slipping, like as if you taped the breaks a lil

Replace the TPS and you will solve the problem. TPS = throttle position sensor located on your throttle body. It controls several things but it feeds info to the transmission control unit and is locking and unlocking the torque converter. Simple job to replace it on your year model. unplug the wires and two screws (torx) and it is off and just reverse to re-install. 93 requires no adjustment or anything.
