Hi All; Newb here. Name's Mark, from Boston, MA. I have an 02 Santy with 78K on it and bought it new, so like the rest of you, over time you are familiar with every squeak, rattle, handling, etc. and overall "feel" to it. So when something crops up, it sticks out and you KNOW it right away. That being said, I have recently noticed that there seems to be some "play" to the way the drivetrain responds upon accel and decel and is most noticeable in slower moving traffic, like when you're following along behind a line of cars that has a stop and go rhythm to it...sort of like a clunk feeling when slowing down and then getting on the gas...a "lag" to it. Sloppy. When you ride in a new car, the accelerating and braking feels smooth and tight as it transitions to gas then to braking, and back again. Mine has a lag of sorts. It almost feels as if it's slapping back and forth and isn't "tight" or seamless, a rocking. Geez, this is tough to explain! If anyone here has experienced/noticed this issue, what has been determined its cause? Or is it just age and I will need to have something adjusted/replaced? It's definitely lurking in the drive train, including the transaxle it feels like to me. I apologize for being so wordy...I'm trying to convey the "feel" of this using a keyboard, lol. Thanks!!!
