Hi, please forgive me if I'm not doing this right or I'm not in the right spot.. I'm completely new to all this and forums in general.

I have a 1995 Mitsubishi Starwagon GL with an automatic transmission.

I've got a few problems with it and have received conflicting advice from a few friends, none of which really know about cars. I really just want a rough idea of what could be wrong and how serious it is before I go to the mechanic or auto electrician. I don't even know which one to go to lol. I just dot want to be ripped off and if its too serious I'll just buy a new car but I really like this one

Ok so here is what's up:

* 'clunks' when changing from park to drive
* occasionally stalls in reverse
* left indicator sometimes doesn't work but wipers come on
* possible delay in acceleration when taking off
* big delay when transmission changes from 2nd to 3rd (or possibly 1st to 2nd) which is helped when you briefly take foot off accelerator - gear will usually change then)

NOTE: has recently had reconditioned short motor put in. Had loose wire to alternator (possibly bumped). Wires fixed then car blew alternator fuse which has been fixed also.

I know this is a painful post but any help is appreciated
