    your help is here! the problem is it's an automatic, and not to mention a 20-year old automatic.

    Does your motor bog or from a stop get up and go. have you done a good tune up? as in plugs,wires,cap/rotor/fuel filter. coolant flush. there. adjust the tranny cable on your auto make is shift alot better and smoother. I did that to my sis's 3g and just by doing that it help alot. maybe your tranny oil bad causing it to drag gears. If you just got this do the basics. Also its carb so you need clean adjust floats.
