Questionwhat would I be expeiencing if my transmition is not working properly? don't know what to look for but suspect its my transmition.
AnswerYou might experience any number of conditions depending on what the transmission problem is. I'll list some of them below, presuming you have an automatic transmission:
1. Vehicle will not move in forward, reverse, or both.
2. Vehicle acts like it's in neutral in one or more forward gears.
3. Vibration at steady cruising speed with accelerator slightly applied.
4. Vibration during shifts.
5. Jerking during shifts.
6. Jerk when coming to a stop.
7. Engine rpms raise during an upshift.
8. Abnormal noises that could vary with engine or vehicle speed.
9. Lack of power.
10. Stuck in third gear (failsafe).
11. Shifting into an inappropriate gear.
In general, it'll help to remember that the engine provides the power for the vehicle and that the transmission applies that power to the wheels.
If you're still unsure, do your best to let me know what the symptoms are. Try to keep things uncomplicated, but provide as much detail as possible. Don't worry so much about what's causing the problem as what you're seeing, feeling, hearing, etc.
