Have you checked the fluid level?

BlakeDGKleavitt

Automatic trans.

BlakeDGKleavitt

Um no. Level on what? And I'm replacing the u joints this week if those are bad enough could that be it

Check the transmission fluid level. Mines did the exact same thing when it ran low doe to a bad rear seal.

There's a dipstick to check the fluid level in the trans. Let it idle for a few minutes before you check the level.

The "automatic" isn't referring to checking its fluid. You need to do it!

And no, your u-joints have nothing to do with your transmission issue.

BlakeDGKleavitt

I will. In autoshop tomorrow

BlakeDGKleavitt

K thanks. And do I check it while it's on

BlakeDGKleavitt

Okay. But I have some bad vibes etc that people on here have told me would b the u joints. Then came this problem so yeah.

jomps

check while running and needs to be at hot line

If you're in an auto class, have someone help you the first time. Checking an auto isn't hard, but needs to be done properly. Too much fluid can cause problems as much as not enough. Make sure to use ATF+4 in it too.
