Answer 1

change the tranny fluid. DO NOT get it flushed. Make sure u put the correct fluid type back in. read the owners manual.

Answer 2

It could be a lot of things. The transmission, the engine needing a tuneup, fuel pump, ignition, MAF, air filter, more.

Before you spend money on it, have a good mechanic test drive it, they can probably find the problem immediately.

Answer 3

The trouble with having a powerful motor is the temptation to push it to the limit... Then beyond the limit.... Then something breaks and it doesn't have the ooomph it used to. If you have no limit of money to fix it, take it to a good mechanic and tell them exactlywhat you were doing before the performance dropped off..

They may be able to look it over and find obvious defects, such as bad compression and leaking head gaskets or fouled spark plugs. Other defects may necessitate disassymbly and measuring and lots of money. Good luck.

Answer 4

tune-up?
