ok so check it out, I have posted this before a long time ago...but recently I got my transmission checked out
the problem I am having is when the tranny shifts from first to second gear (automatic) I get a really bad jerk
for instance, if I was to merge on the highway and I am pretty much flooring it, the wheels will stop spinning for a split second when it shifts from first to second (you can literally hear the screech)
if I back off the gas the jerk isn't as bad, so that's what I have been doing to hopefully preserve the life of the car to the best of my ability until it gets fixed
SO!, the verdict yesterday was undetermined, they said the issue resides within the transmission and would need to be taken apart...the fix can be anywhere from $500 to $1,800+
I told him that a charge in that range is not something that I could commit to
I talked to him about 20 minutes later and he said he can give me a second option...which is to swap the transmission with a used one (that he will get and install in the car) with 67,000 miles on it (I currently have 82,500 miles) for $1,000 (installed)
that is a realistic option and I have opted for it (nothing has been done just yet)...any opinions? I paid the guy $82 to evaluate the tranny..should I get a second opinion?
lol it's not like I want to incur more analysis charges with other people tho keep in mind
