Please Give Advice
To start off I have a 21 Kia Forte LXS with the 8SPD IVT. My engine is the 2.0 MPI Nu I4.
I love this car. Probably a little too much to the point where I’ll floor it. But I think that’s possibly why it has gotten to what it has. I’ll be driving in sport mode, going first to second, but the second I go 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th (seemingly where Torque Converter would lock in) the car shutters and struggles, almost like it’s in the middle of an earthquake. It vanishes like nothing even happened on a cold morning. And it’ll pop up in the middle of nowhere while I’m just getting down the street to my house. Please give me real advice, this is not a motor mount issue, that much is obvious. I just had 2 replaced, one with a dry rotted bushing and the other with a crack in it probably from me hitting the potholes in Mississippi. When I had a motor mount issues the car made noises. This problem I’m having makes literally none besides maybe the rpm fluctuating from the out of balance shaking. Thanks!
