Recently bought a '97 OBS, has minor problems. Main problem that i've found and can't figure out what it is:
I start out from my garage, 1st-2nd-3rd-4th...all fine (always shifting at 2500rpms), get 2miles out onto higher mph roads, 1st-2nd-3rd all fine, but as i try to shift into 4th (there's a lag of power an my speed is dropping as my foot is on the gas, i have to really "STEP ON IT" to make it gain the power back and go!). 5th gear is the same way after i shift out of 4th (the lag process starts all over again)! Now that I'm approx 4miles away from my house, that lag process is happening to ALL THE GEARS. A buddy says its the alternator (its bad), true?
Please help!? Any and all help is greatly appreciated
Thank you.
