fluids are good car does have a lot of miles but i mean it shifts when its suppose too. it shifts between 2500 3000 rpms but like if i go slow if shifts perfect but if i pick up the speed a little bit more it kinda rocks back a bit but after if shifts from neutral to first it shifts perfectly fine into other gears.
