| Description of the problem | When i take off it jerks real bad between 1st and 2nd gear and then when i am slowing down about to come to a stop it also kicks and jerks real bad when i started having intermittent transmission problems . It now has become a daily problem whenever i drive. The main issues is when put my car from reverse to drive or park to drive it hesitates for at least 7 to 10 secs. And then jumps real bad and then goes into drive. It usually does all this when the car is hot. The gears also seems to be slipping or jumping when i slow down from 3rd to 2nd. Yesterday was the first occurrence of it jumping when going from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. I cant believe with all these complaints nothing has been done. What else needs to be done for this problem to be fixed. |
