Harsh shifting
Harsh shifting can result from worn components, low fluid, or solenoid issues. It may also indicate the transmission is running too hot.
Transmission slipping
Slipping occurs when the transmission momentarily loses grip, often due to worn clutches, low fluid, or degraded fluid. You may notice the engine revving without corresponding acceleration.
