Sometimes the transmission will not drive the car after a stop or if changing from drive to reverse or reverse to drive. Rpm will go very high and only move the car very slowly. At other times there will be a bad shift or a strange sound. This can happen any time, when first starting out for the day, after running for a time, after a long drive or after stopping for a turn, red light, stop sign or just slowing down.…
