problem #8

  • Automatic transmission

I was driving home and when I got to a stop sign and was getting ready to turn right, the car jerked forward and felt as if it were in neutral for a second. About 2 weeks later I was on my way home and the same thing happened, only while I was driving in the middle of the road, the car began to rev and jerk around, and all the while, I was slowing down on the busy street. I took it to aamco and they told me the transmission was broken and I would need a new one if I wanted the car to work properly again. I was a bit frustrated at the fact that the model of the car is a '95 and is in need of a new transmission, thank you for your time.
