Default 1991 Cavalier Stuttering and bucking in 3rd

erratic behavior of the Cavalier, it feels like fuel cut with a sudden loss and gain of power in a shuttering, surging way - surging & bucking on accelleration and also when gas pedal is fully let off

looks like a brand new fuel filter ( just acquired the car a few months ago, and has always had this problem)

any help much appreciated! thanks

Sounds like it could possibly be a stripped gear. If I had a better desription of what its doing, we can get a better diagnosis for you.
