Consumer Description

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN THE DTC TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO HAVE A HARD TIME GOING INTO GEAR AND A LARGE LURCH FOLLOWED THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS AROUND IDLE. ONCE AT IDLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD ONLY ALLOW ME TO REV THE ENGINE WITH THE TRANS IN DRIVE. I HAD IT FIXED ALREADY DUE TO TRANS OIL LEAKING INTO THE CLUTCH AREA. 500-1000 MILES LATER SAME ISSUE AWAITING TO GET IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. *TR
