On my cavalier, as I'm driving the transmission feels like its slipping or I'm not getting steady gas flow and the speedometer is doing this. Its like my cars are in a race to see what can go wrong sooner

The video I attached didn't work? It's bouncing all over the place. And it does feel like it's slipping here and there. No dipstick for tranny gotta put it up and open the bolt.
 
I don't see any video.

What year and engine is the Cav ?

And you do mean the speedometer not the tachometer right ?

If the Speedo is jumping around that could be a speed sensor, which will affect how the transmission behaves.

And yes its the speedometer, a 95 engine I'm pretty sure its 2.2

Wow that's crazy, all I can think of is the speed sensors/abs sensors, but you may have a bad pcm too.

Hopefully someone else here can be of more help.
 
Can't play the video. My advise...buy a new car. You have no luck right now....maybe its how you drive?? :confused:

Probably true, the car was 3 quarts low on fluid. Seems better now, there were small leaks in the lines which will get fixed this week after testing transmission out this week.
 
If the speedo was accurately reflecting your speed you'd have a broken neck by now! The engine doesn't sound like it's fluctuating at all. IMO that's an electrical problem of some sort... sensor, PCM, even a loose wire.
