They could rebuild the entire transmission and if they overlook a worn clutch and don't replace it, this could be the end result. IF you do have a manual, it sounds like your clutch is slipping and/or not fully engaging. I suggest like the others and take it back to the shop that did the work. Get the tech that did the work in the car and go for a spin. When you replicate the problem, look at him and say "It didn't do this before I gave the car to you!" ... go from there.

I'm usually not big on gimmicky sounding additives but this one convinced me. It has solved problems such as slippage and delay going into gear in cold weather. 99 Silver CSVT #1081/2760 97 Nissan Altima 83 Corolla SR5 RWD bondo/rust body 'ghetto cruiser' RIP 78 Winnebago Minnie (Dodge Chassis 23') 440cid 4bbl.

Don't do anything until you talk to the shop that rebuilt it. Most certainly don't put any additives in it until you have given them an opportunity to fix their screw up. Don't muddy the water by trying to fix it yourself first. Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited
