Hello all,
I'm new to being a Fusion owner, as well as to the forum. I bought my car from a guy after the engine mount studs broke, and the engine... well fell onto the subframe. all 3 mounts, ps pressure hose, and pax axle later, it runs and drives well.
The transmission has been suspect since I got it on the road, the fluid looks like oil so I poured a can of seafoam trans treatment in it, which seems to be helping, I intend to change the fluid soon with Idemitsu M5. I'm noticing though, that there is what could be described as a shudder/wiggle almost exclusively in 2nd, and the first second or 2 of shifting into 3rd. It feels like a loose axle, but I've never run across a loose axle being so gear dependent for a vibration.
Anyone have some insight? TIA
