Same here



Except when A/C is on even though the RPMs drop it doesnt do it.



It stutters like a stutterdrag box and only when no A/C and engaged in gear with clutch in.

Some one through in if its electrical. ( Transmission sending unit ?)

Try installing better ground cables.

Get 4guage ones from auto zone and replace the stock ones.

Might help you out some.

if your rpms are floating during slow shifts you need to check your Throttle position sensor and make sure its connected and calibrated correctly.

How do I calibrate the TPS?

Also I guess this is a little different from the starting thread since his idle BOUNCED..mine stutters when in gear only.

I believe that's normal. My 7 was a auto then swapped to manual. And the mechanic advised that the 1st and 2nd switched didn't need to be hooked up,but the wiring diagram showed a sometype of voltage diff. i don't remember what it was.It was a while ago, but anyways i believe the 1st and 2nd switch causes that. I put it in nuetral it's idling 900 rpms,then put it in 1st ,idle might go up a tad, vacuum drops from 16 to 18. If that's what you are talking about, i think it's norm.
