Hi,

The most important thing is that all wheels and tires are of the same size.

The first thing I suggest is to check the transmission fluid and make sure it is full and clean. If you look at the pic below, it included the procedure for testing the fluid on this vehicle. Do this and let me know what you find. Also, let me know the color of the fluid and if there is a burnt smell about it. One last thing. Let me know if the transmission has been serviced and when.

Take care,

Joe
