vibration noise and lack of grip

Have another new problem with a 94 Caprice. When I set off wheels slip at first and when it changes from 1-2, sometimes 2-3, as if you're on ice. Sometimes accompanied by a vibration noice. Runs smooth at speed, but at low speeds it will do these faults. Very hard to get up hills. Vibration gets worse as does the noise and lack of grip with the wheels.

I have new wheels on and that didn't help. Does it sound like worn drive shaft or something like that? It's clearly worse when strain is put on the car such as a hill.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Take a look at the bushings on all of your rear control arms. My guess is they are well worn. I've read of rear lower control arms failing themselves. It can be a dangerous situation. Get it checked out quick.

Hi everyone

Trans shop says Trans has gone bad. Does anyone know if a trans from a 95 Impala 5.7 V8 will fit into my 94 4.3 V8 Caprice Classic?

Thanks

Wish I could have the whole Impala, but it's only the transmission that's available!
