MY VEHICLE HAS SEVERE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT JUMPS FROM ONE GEAR TO ANOTHER. DURING THE CHANGE, WHICH CAN LAST UP TO 10 SECONDS, THE ENGINE IS AT A HIGH RPM BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THEN THE WHOLE CAR JUMPS WHEN IT FINALLY MAKES IT INTO GEAR. THIS IS HIGHLY ALARMING AND DANGEROUS. SOMETIMES IT CAUSES A RAPID DECELERATION OR ACCELERATION OF THE CARE, EVEN WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE ALREADY FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION - BUT THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE JUMPS VIOLENTLY WHEN CHANGING BETWEEN 1ST, 2ND & 3RD GEARS. IF THE ENGINE IS COOL THEN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT JUMP BUT ONCE THE ENGINE IS WARMED UP, THE CAR IS JUST CONSTANTLY JERKING. IF I CHANGE GEARS FROM D TO R, IT TAKES AROUND 5 SECONDS BEFORE VEHICLE ACTUALLY KICKS INTO GEAR AND IT JERKS SO HARD TO THE POINT WHERE IT JUST MAKE A LOUD NOISE. *TR
