Description of the problem | My wife and kids were driving home from her sisters home and about 5 miles in a line of traffic on a 2 lane roadway crossing a bridge when she lost power an the vehicle would not reach over a speed of 10mph. This in turn put my wife and children in danger with traffic moving at a rate of 40mph dropping to 10 mph with rpms jumping to between 6 an 7 rpms . She luckily made it across the bridge where she found a wide spot to pull off. When i arrived i checked for fluid on the ground there was none. I put the car in drive and reverse and it was abundently clear it was the transmission. When shifting into drive the transmission would make a slamming/booming sound as it tried to engage. When i tried to accelerate there was no power behind the vehicle to pick up any acceleration. We had it towed to a transmission specialist the next day where he was quick to let me know we needed a new transmission. |
