Ok guys, my buddy just picked up a 94 dodge shadow 2.2 litre auto trans. The gas pedal is sometimes hard to push and other times not. the tranny has some problems shifting when the pedal gets hard and just revs by itself. I have no clue have you guys heard of anything like this? ---

It’s binding in the valve body. Very common on those. The correct way is to pull the V.B. pull the detent linkage out, free up and reinstall. You can TRY to spray the hell outta it @ the top of the tranny where the linkage goes into the tranny but That usually doesnt do the trick. ---
