okay, I'm driving home tonight from work and I decide to take her up to sixty...you know just to have a little fun. When I slow down to get ready to stop, she starts bucking real bad as if she doesn't want to stop. Then when I take off again at a normal pace the bucking starts again and at first, it doesn't want to go above 25. Finally picks up speed to about 40(I was afraid of hurting it so I didn't ask for any more) and it was smooth until I start to slow down for the next stop sign...again started bucking as if it didn't want to stop. Took off again, same bucking but this time I stayed at 25 all the way home which is about a mile or two but everytime I stop and start I got the bucking. Let me back track a little, the other day the Power Light flashed again but I never got around to checking it until tonight's episode. Turns out to be Duty Solenoid B again(see post: Power Light flashes). Would this solenoid cause these problems? How easy is this to fix? Is my trannie or rear diff dying(problem didn't see like it was coming from the front of the car)? Please help...I just lowered her! I'm in love with it again :lol:

If you put the car in neutral and come to a stop does it still buck?

Well, I just drove my car and no it doesn't buck when stopping in neutral. In fact, it didn't buck at all. The drive was uneventful. How do you explain this? Man I hope it's not too bad. Should I bring it into a transmission shop to have it checked out?

I bet your torque converter got stuck. Mine did this once.

Is this a sign that the torque converter is going bad? Should I prepare to have it replaced? I also got a code for VSS2 a few weeks ago. Could this be part of the problem also? I just want to get this taken care of because I almost afraid to drive my car in fear of doing more damage.
