Got a 93 240sx in great running shape with lots of power. It shifts good in 1st & 2nd, but 3rd shifts late - needs to build up RPM, then whiplash. Anybody have any ideas as to what to do?

Whiplash? Not fallowing you.

Whiplash, by jerking the whole car suddenly.

Is it an automatic? Sounds like a problem with Hard Shifting. Start by checking the transmission fluid, see if it's low or dirty.

It was recently changed, so it is new fluid & clean. Yes it is automatic. Any other ideas?
