Consumer Description

THE CAR IS SHIFTING HARD FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I SLOW DOWN AROUND A CURVE AND THEN THE CAR HAS TO SHIFT DOWN AND BACK UP RIGHT AWAY. THIS HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING, IT PROBABLY ISN'T THE TRANSMISSION BUT WITH THE VACUUM MODULAR OR TORQUE CONVERTER. I ALSO HAD A 2005 AND RECENTLY TRADED IT IN FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE, BUT IT HAD THE SAME THING WITH SHIFTING HARD BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND. *TR
