Re: 2000 Alero 2.4 bucking/jerking

After a little more troubleshooting, there may be 2 problems:

The "miss" and "stumble" are not existent when the car is driven in "3", but return if driven in "D". I afraid the new transmission fluid may have dislodged some crap, and somehow affecting the trans operation in overdrive. I'm not familiar with this trans to know the details. (However, I am intimate with the Ford AX4S)

The "hiccup" at idle in gear is always present, and would suggest an ignition or fuel problem.

Any comments/suggestions are welcome! Thanks
Hi. I have 2.4L Alero 2001 with same problem . The problem is occurred at 90-100 km/h and turns cruise control off(if enabled). The mpg value also falled by 20-30%. I did a visit to dealership to figure this problem out. They said , there is a problem in the gear . They're ready to fix it and price for that in Israel is starting from 2000USD . May be they're wrong ? Does anyone had same problem fixed ?
Many thanks
Michael
