Description of the problem | My automatic transmission has been acting up ever since i purchased my car in 1999. It only had 86000 miles on it and i was told that the car needed to be driven for a while and it would straighten itself out. Well, now it's sitting in my front yard needing a $1700 transmission in it. Lucky for me, i was on my way home on a back road instead of on a highway with traffic zooming by. |
