Hi there. Most transmission problems like you’ve described can be resolved by having the transmission fluid flushed and filter replaced. Transmissions are hydraulic systems that rely on clean and efficient fluid to shift, allow acceleration and deceleration as well. However, internal engine component damage or speed / shift sensors can also cause these type of issues. The best way to tackle this problem is have a professional mobile mechanic complete a car is hard to shift inspection at your location first.
