(hard to explain but i am not the only person to notice this) then when it does change gears it the car leap forword hard, and sometimes can hear something under the car jurk. even just driveing normal when she changes to second she leaps not to bad though.the other probelm is carb related so i will post it there.....so whats up with my car? any ideas?

you need to reduce the size of the pic in your sig so whoever reads your thread doesn't have to scrool over to read it. it'd helped if you took the time to say what sort of car/engine/trans combo you had but since you didn't i'll guess. trans mount broke and TV cable needs adjusted.

i'm guessing you have a 700r4 seeing turbos run mostly off vacuum.

The tv/kickdown/whatever they have so many names goes into the tranny (if its a 700r4, does it have overdrive?) on the passenger side.
