also it could be your fuel pump or fuel pickup. see if a full tank of gas causes the same problems

- Sun Jul 22, 2012 3:07 am #311636 check your tranny fluid. since it revved high, that sounds like the torque converter may have been slipping. Hopefully it was just a little low on fluid and not going out. :thumb:

- Mon Jul 23, 2012 1:44 am #311662 think about it, if the fluid is low and it's sloshing around to one side when turning sharp corners, fluid isn't where it needs to be. Always start by checking the simple things, hopefully it's as simple as adding tranny fluid. :thumb:
