Q: Shifts in high rpm at very low speeds
Two days ago I noticed my car shifted aggressively and then it would jerk my car a lil. One day ago the problem got worse and it still shifts your rpm at very high Rpms. Around 3,000. When I drive it shifts quickly into first and revs high on 2nd and 3rd gear. Just put some new oil in cuz it was low. Not sure if it was because it was low on some oil. It wasn't too low but didn't realize it was this bad. Any suggestions. Can I get it coded for problems?
