Worried about auto transmission
Had a bad experience today with my 2002 PT (auto tranny, 92,000 miles). As I came to a stop light, maybe going .5-1 mph, the car sort of sputtered and stopped immediately. I took my foot off the brake pedal and to my suprise, went nowhere. I shifted though the gears, still nothing happened. So I revved the engine, while in the drive gear, still going nowhere. Revved it again, harder this time and it slammed into gear and took off.
This really had me worried, my transmission I always though was in great condition, always shifts smooth, and has never given me any troubles until now. It really caught me off guard and I really hope nothing is majorly wrong with it. Any advice/insight is very much appreciated.
Im not sure if this is related or not, but It does have that "quirk" where it kind of lurches/jerks forward when coming to a stop.
Thanks a bunch!
George
