Consumer Description

TAKING OFF CAR JERKS REAL BAD BETWEEN 1ST & 2ND GEAR, THEN WHEN I PUSH DOWN ON GAS SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE. SLOWING DOWN CAR KICKS & JERKS WHEN DOWN SHIFTING. NOW IT'S AT THE POINT WHERE THE CAR STALLS WHEN SWITCHING GEARS. PUTTING THE CAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE IT HESITATES ABOUT 5 TO 7 SEC AND MAKES A LOUD SOUND WHEN IT JERKS. TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR UNDER 20M.P.H. CAUSING ENGINE TO REV UP TO 4RPM AND SOMETIMES 5RPM. THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING WHETHER I IN MOTION ON A STREET OR HIGHWAY, STATIONARY GETTING READY TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, ETC. I AM REALLY AFRAID THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION.
