First off - I will be taking the car to a mechanic within the week, but I'd like to hear some opinions from you all first.

I have a 1995 Accord EX Auto with only CAI on. The car has 136,000 miles on it. The transmission has always shifted a little rough but lately it seems especially after decelerating to say..go around a sharp turn, when I come out of the turn and want to give it some gas (even just a little) the RPM's shoot up by almost 1,000 exactly and the car growls a little. Feels hesitant. Then, about two seconds after this, i guess the gear catches or whatever's happening, and it's fine after that. I'm worried about this mainly because of something I recall reading - and also, if I ever got an exhaust it'd be the lamest sounding thing ever. Maybe that serves me right for wanting to get an audible muffler on an auto?

The other problem, is that my car feels like it's wobbling when it comes to stops. It's not in the steering wheel really at all, it feels like the car is shaking forward and then backward quickly. In addition to this, I often feel this shaking through the break pedal, feels real real weird. Don't know how else to describe it, not really a vibration but hits through the break.

Any input is greatly appreciated. Just trying to find out what i'm up against. I sadly recall hearing the transmission problem I'm having related to the transmission about to go (yikes).

Thanks.
