OK, so here it is...

i have an 03 3.0 with 91,000 miles.

since saturday i've been noticing the car is sounding and running a little bit different. i purchased the car with 34,000 so i think i have a good handle on the normal driving sounds plus all the quirks that goes along with driving an X.

i did a search earlier today on transmission problems/slipping but i am not sure if that is indeed my problem. well, let's just say i hope not.

it jerks from time to time and i notice this during take off. i guess i wanted to come to the "experts" first before i call the dealer. because truth be told what am i going to say: "it's just not running the same. i know my car!"

sorry for not being more direct with my issue. i just know it's driving different but have no clue what's the cause or how to explain to the dealer.

no lights have come on yet to indicate a problem so i may be acting a bit presumptious. it could just be my paranoia due to the mileage. ( i never had a car with miles this high before. i guess it goes to show how much i really do enjoy my X).

what do you guys think? am i acting paranoid (maybe i shouldn't ask a bunch of guys that! )since the car's computer hasn't indicated anything and all my levels seem to be where they should be

any advice would be greatly appreciated!
