Car "Surging" After Fluid Change
I had my transmission and differential fluid changed a week or so ago, and used LE in the diffy and Redline MT-90 in the tranny.
Anyways, I've experienced in some manual cars the car "surging" or "lunging" forward when driving. Mine has not done this for the first 5200 miles I've put on the car. The car has set for a couple days in a high humidty and rain enviroment (we've gotten a lot of rain the past few days, and my car sadly isn't garaged).
I'm sure it's not clutch slippage, because my understanding of it is different than what my car is doing. It doesn't seem to do it when it's warmed up, or not as bad, and it's more noticeable in the lower gears than the higher ones.
Would you guys say it's from the fluid change, or just the weather we've had lately. It hasn't done it before today, and the fluid, as I said, was changed almost 2 weeks ago.
Thanks guys.

It's not from the fluid change. Wet weather can cause driveability problems with traditional spark plug wires and distributor caps, neither of which you have.
It IS fuel switchover time. I'll bet you either are low on fuel or recently added some.

You think it was just some bad gas? I've never gotten a bad tank from this particular gas station (which I use religiously in all of our vehicles), but I guess it's possible.
Thanks RR.
