I was on my way back from the Tampa gun show about an hour ago, and my car started bucking like a mule. The show is about 40 miles from me. My only car... it's the 1987 Ford Crown Victoria station wagon that I refer to as the Battle Wagon. The car has 87,000 miles, a 5.0 V-8, and overdrive auto transmission.
The problem occurred when I stopped off the highway for a few minutes. I'd been cruising normally at 55mph and got off the interstate. When I started forward again, the car started shuddering. It continued like that even at speed and was bucking the remaining half of the trip home. Felt like it would shake the car apart.
Transmission fluid & oil are at normal levels.
Any thoughts on what this may be, and how serious it is? I can't afford a new tranny.
