there's actually a few things wrong with this car i've noticed.

1. when i shift into drive, its an auto, it has a really hard engagement. the whole car jerks forward. i've had the transmission rebuilt but its still acting a little nuts. also most of the other shifting is pretty noticeable.

2. car smells like gas when i drive for awhile and the gas mileage doesnt seem to be near even 25 mpg. when i turn the engine off i hear something spinning and sounds like something is draining or w/e.

3. at stop signs the engine shakes the car and makes the dash rattle sometimes. i just got a commercial gumout fuel injection service done.

idk what to do! im gonna take it to a shop tomorrow to get a diagnosis.

ya when i got the tranny rebuilt i got all new motor/tranny mounts. i'll look into a fuel pump though. you think a fuel pump can effect fuel economy/power of the engine?
