i have a 96-95 3.8 V6. it's an automatic transmission and it seems to have a problem with shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. instead of shifting while you keep giving it gas, it will just keep going in 1st gear until you let up on the gas.
in addition to that, it has a problem with overheating. i don't know why, but it will constantly overheat and empty the radiator after only a few days since i last refilled it. i've replaced the engine thermometer and that seemed to fix it for a while, but it went back to overheating again.
and the final problem is that one of the engine cylanders has misfired on occasion, i think it's the 3rd cylander... but i dunno if that makes any difference.
i don't know a whole lot about cars mechanically, and i've done my best here, any help would be great. my assumption is that some of these problems can be attributed to the transmission, but really all of this is beyond any mechanical knowledge of mine. any help would be great, thanks.
