[DML] Re: Just got home.

["Jeff Lawson" <jeffrey.lawson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the way home to Chicago my car seemed buck and jump a bit going up 
those hills as well.  Shifting down into 4th seemed while climbing 
the hill seemed to stop the bucking and jumping though.  Guess 5th 
gear is just too tall for those mountain grades?  My car didn't die 
on me though, so I guess I was lucky.  Glad to hear that you made it 
home safely.

Let me know if you find out it was something else....
