I know it has something to do with the transmission, but what exactly is happening?
In: Technology
If there’s a lurch or jolt, this generally means that the gears are worn down or things are out of adjustment so the gear doesn’t engage smoothly. At this point, it’s only a matter of time before it begins “slipping.” Slipping can be warded off for a while with service, but once it does begin to slip you need a new transmission pronto because it can fail completely at any point thereafter. You’ll be able to tell it’s slipping if you accelerate but it feels like you’ve lost power when you should have felt it shift up.
