Car was stuttering, struggling to go. Was told by AAMCO we needed a new transmission. Had that done. But vehicle is still doing the same thing and they’re saying it’s a something to do with the fuel line issue so they changed a couple sensors (for free) but it’s still doing it. We have the car back, but on the drive home the check engine light came on. I’m feeling like we didn’t need a new transmission but it’s already installed and paid for but our car is still not running right. What should I do? Seems like they keep throwing parts at it in hopes it solves it. I just want it fixed.
Hmm those transmissions aren’t really known for issues op. Did you change your fluids on time check for any recalls at first? 130k seems like a long time for no fluid change if that’s the case. Not doubting you op, but I feel like there is more to the story here. Did you tell you how they know the transmission was bad? Metal shavings? Transmission specific codes show up before they gave you the estimate for the transmission?
See we thought it was a fuel issue initially. Had all the plugs coils and injectors changed still experienced the same problem. Finally figured out it was doing the stuttering only under 2k rpm in any gear but as soon as it got over 2k it ran perfectly fine in any gear so we took it to a transmission shop. They said need a new transmission is needed. Changed it out and we took it home and we got halfway home and it started again. Took it back and they changed some sensors. Went to go get it and same thing happened. Issue is that it doesn’t do it until after you’ve driven it 10-13 miles from cold. Well yesterday when I was dropping it off at a different mechanic to get diagnosed I switched to manual to see if it was still the 2k rpm issue that we originally brought it in for and it is.
