Bob, what do you mean by 'bucking'? I had a problem with my 900T where on moderately hard acceleration a shuddering/knocking/bucking feeling came from the front of the car. It turned out to be a broken engine mount that was letting the engine move to and fro! It took me a long time and a lot of money before I found this out. Alan.
