Alternator is working fine. Disconnected battery while idling car for awhile and no changes happened. Transmission fluid looks decently clean so lets make a list of what its not or shouldnt be.

CAI: No, otherwise there would be at least trace amounts of dust in it right?
Alternator/Battery: Nope, electronics have been running fine, disconnecting battery while car runs still keeps car alive.
Sensors: Shouldn't be because no check engine lights
Fuel Injectors: Used cleaner. That should rule that out.
Belts and pulleys: Everything is tense and spinning smoothly so I doubt that's it.


I've gotta say, its probably something in the transmission because:
"Sloppy" Automatic transmission shifts
Super shudder when braking
also lots of power loss

HOWEVER! Transmission fluids exactly perfect in the correct color.


But I dont have enough money to get the entire new automatic transaxle.


Learning is fun.
