SOMETIMES I CAN DRIVE THE VAN AND IT SEEMS FINE WHILE AT OTHER TIMES IT ACTS UP ALOT. SOMETIMES GOING BETWEEN REVERSE AND DRIVE IT HESITATES THEN SHIFTS HARD. SOMETIMES WHILE TAKING OFF FROM STOP IT IS SLOW TO CHANGE GEARS AND THEN SHIFTS HARD. AT TIMES IT WHINES AND ACTS SLUGGISH WHILE DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. AFTER PUTTING VAN INTO PARK VAN WOULD ROLL AT TIMES ATLEAST A FOOT, EVEN ON FLAT, LEVEL SURFACES. THIS ALSO HAPPENS ON HILLS, I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS NORMAL FOR A HILL BUT I WAS SURE THAT IT COULD NOT BE FOR LEVEL GROUND. ON ONE PATICULAR OCCASION AFTER PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN THE VAN COULD NOT PICK UP SPEED, THE VAN WAS WHINNING AS IF IT COULD NOT CHANGE INTO THE NEXT GEAR. AFTER PULLING OVER AND STARTING AGAIN IT GAINED SPEED BUT SHIFITED HARD.*AK
