what gears are your mechanic talking about? have you checked your fluid, was it been flushed recently with a new filter? what is the condition/level of the fluid. does it smell heavily burnt?

take to a reliable transmission shop,could be a bad 1-2 soleniod or bad sealing ring or clutch,do you have manual low? personally I wouldn't trust that mechanic,sounds like he's talking out his arse
