Hello, I am new here.



I have a 99 toyota camry solara. I have noticed that when I am cruising and a constant speed, I get this jerking. Druing acceleration, no jerking, coasting, no jerking. ONly while cruising! It has me stumped. The car has



125k on it. Its the 3.0L v6 also.

I notice that it shifts kind of rough also. Does anybody know what may be wrong? Possible dirty oil only?



My airbag light is on too. Can autozone check them for free? I know they do with the engine lights.



When is the last time you had your trans oil, filter and differential oil changed, probably never.

Yeah, sounds like the tranny. May be time to change out the strainer as well, probably all plugged up. Don't just clean it, get a Fram ATF kit with rubber cork gasket, about $20 a set.

This car is not mine actually....so dont rant at me for not keeping it maintained. I keep my own car well maintained. I have dont filter changes b4 on trannys. there not that hard. I can tell that this car has been abused.

Sure sounds like it's your car.

Yea mine smokes after a day but only burns 1/2 quart in 3000. It realy does lube the cilinder on startup, the time it is needed most, 10-30 will make it smoke less.
