  • New engine...weird shifting

    I replaced my motor recently and ever since then the car seems to shift differently. I noticed that there are 2 cables going to the throttle body...is this anything like the older cars where one cable runs back to the tranny? Is there an adjustment I need to do with this. This is a 1996 3.8. I could not find anything in my crappy clymer manual. Thanks!

    the other cable is most likely cruise control...

      I believe its all electronically controlled. How is it "different"?

        It seems to be holding gears longer, softer shifting, it also seems like my passing gear is further down in the accelerator pedal if that makes any since. It did perfectly fine until I dropped the new motor in. Weird.

          Did you change the ECM too?
