Q: Transmission problem?
The last few days, my car has been revving all the way up, but not moving. My first thought was a clutch or transmission problem, but the weird thing is that after a couple of minutes, the gas begins to catch and it drives fine, though the RPMs do spike up for a couple of seconds now and then. I let it warm up for about 10 minutes this morning, but didnt seem to do anything, so I dont know if engine temp has anything to do with it starting to respond.
Im just trying to get thru the next two weeks, until my christmas break, when I have time to really look and pick a good new(used) car, rather than have to rush and pick something.
My car has 135000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
