my car jerks when coming to a stop!
i dont know it just jerks, it feels like the engine is about to die or something, i checked the brakes.. they're good, tranny is acting funny when its below 25F. i got the engine sludge taken cared of, fresh oil, tranny flush was done about 3 months ago, anybody has this problem? i keep spending money just trying to get it to run normal :(

The tranny is just downshifting too early as you slow down. Make sure you have enough fluid. And maybe get it scanned
|
How can I check it? I can't find the dip stick for the tranny.
|
You can't check the fluid... Does the auto have a tach? if so what r the rpms doing?
|
rpm's seems fine, it jerks only on 1st & 2nd while shifting down.
|
My sisters chrysler does the same thing. Haven't really figured a fix for it yet though

Might b a bad motor or snub mount if the motor is floping around it will jerk the wheels when droping into a low gear or hard acceleration in 1st and 2nd. Open the hood get in the car and watch the engine when u put it in gear, if it moves more than an inch ur mounts are warn another one u can do is accel hard from a stop with ur hands off the wheel if it pulls to one side ur mounts are warn it's called torque steer
|
the mounts could be, but now i didnt really paid attetion to it, i have seen spots on the drive way, not oil. so its defenetly running low on tranny fluid
