Re: V8-Q Trans

[ekellock@juno.com]

Just picked up a 91 V8q 5-speed which surges very badly.  I was just
today thinking the throttle position sense might also be affecting things
as the power output was very non-linear as I was move my foot downward on
the gas.  Steady state acceleration yields big surges, but putting the
foot down slowly from near idle yields all sorts of other variations.
