  • Accelleration Problems

    Hey guys, i have a '96 Camaro 3.8L 5spd. with 109,000kms. I just recently bought the car, and ever since i've had it, whenever i try to accelerate fast it seems like somthings wrong. The accelleration isn't smooth like it should be. No matter what gear i'm in, the car seems to bog down or jerk when i have it pinned. The speedometer still climes fast, but the car feels so slow because its not climing at a constant pace. Its hard to describe, but this is the first standard car i've ever owned, so i don't know if its that or if somthings wrong. For example when i downshift to pass someone on the highway, the car takes off at first then just boggles back and forth while accelerating. Any of you know what i'm yalking about?
