Have you checked the level of transmission fluid? When was the last time you had the transmission fluid and filter changed?
the transmission dont have a beup stick
Take it to a trusted local mechanic and ask him to check the fluid level.
i took the car to the shop and thay check fluid level and scan transmission for codes there was no code
Sounds like you will need help from a transmission shop. Try to find a recommended independent shop, not a chain like AAMCO.
i took my car to shop today.thay told me my transmission fluid really dark and need to change it so i got that done…then he told me i got engine codes p0340 camshaft position sensor problem code p1599
You can read what those codes mean here: http://www.obd-codes.com
Note that the P0340 code can come from several different places, not just the sensor itself.
P1599 is an “engine near stall” code that may be a simple fix like new spark plugs and/or plug wires. Try replacing those if they are old.
thanks for all your help
