sounds like the torque converter lockup is engaging and disengaging. i wouldnt really know why though, but i would bet thats whats happening.

If your vehicle has a TPS(throttle position sensor), replace it. your problem will probably go away. If you do not have a TPS, then your TQ Cnvtr is locking an unlocking.

All vehicles with electronic fuel injection have a TPS.
As for the rpm fluctuation, agreed. Sounds like the torque converter is popping in and out of lockup. Needs a good checkup. Hopefully, it's not a failing torque converter clutch. Perhaps it's just a bad lockup solenoid.

Just drive. Lock out overdrive when towing.
So many periods. Some sort of subliminal message?

no subliminal messages given..........none to be looked for..........I just write in uncompleted to the point sentences....disregarding punctuation and grammer..........similar to charting on a patients chart for over 30 years as a nurse........grouping many thoughts and conversations into one small paragraph.........thanx for your input.....Marie

marie i have a 2000 rt and put a kenne bell charger on it and they recommend turning overdrive off unless you're driving on the interstate or freeway. definitely keeps it from going in & out of overdrive.
