I'm being serious. You have a transmission and Versatrak AWD problem. You are looking at major dollars to fix. I've had numerous GM vans with the same drivetrain as the Aztec. I'm a die hard Pontiac guy but the Aztec was/is a P.O.S. The versatrak awd was a great idea and worked well until it had problems. Then it got real, real expensive.

That all depends how fast you're going. Shift points will be lower at slower speeds and higher a faster speeds. However, no proper shifting transmission should ever "POP" into gear.

my TC "maintenance required" light went on a few days after I got the oil changed. This light came on and thought it was for tire pressure, so I had that looked at and the light was still on. He turned it off for me, but now I'm thinking I should have looked to see if any else is wrong. The oil is OK. 1 answer

1995 Jeep Cherokee OverheatingHello all,Got a slight over-heating problem with my Jeep. Actually I noticed this from about 2 years ago and it's still the same today.When I'm stuck in bad traffic, or sit at a red light for too long, the temperature gauge would slowly creep upwards over the middle marker toward the third marker. I have not had it sitting idle for so long that it went into the last red region.But as soon as I start driving again, the temperature drops back down below just under the halfway mark.To me it sounds like an airflow problem, i.e. the engine is not getting enough airflow when it's sitting idle.Could this be the fan? Or a clogged or dirty radiator?I see two fans. The fan on the right always spins. The fan on the left does not spin when the engine is started. Are they both suppose to spin?Thanks in advance for any advice.Regards, 2 answers

98.5 Ford contour SVT. Engage the clutch and can not put it in gear. It just won't go. I'm looking to trade for it, but want some advice on potential issues with this problem. So far I have thought of slave cylinder and/or pressure plate. Is there anything else I should consider? 5 answers

I don't own it and have never even seen it in person. The above is all I know.
