ok there's a good amount of cheap alternatives in the thread so far. I think I'm gonna tell the mechanic guy (or either get my dad to help me do it) to:
1. replace the spark plug wires
2. replace the distributor cap
I already put some carburator fluid stuff in there when I bought it. It's not quite time to put more in it yet (lasts for 3000 miles it said).
Also, I'm fairly positive it's not a transmission issue. The sound definitely sounds like it's coming from the engine (via exhaust), not the tranmission. But I won't keep that out of the picture.
