Transmission problem
2000 Pontiac Montana Front Wheel Drive Automatic

my transmission all of a sudden stated jurking(i guess u could call it) into gear but it doesnt do it all the time. And when it does do it I can pull over shut my car off and then restart my car and it will drive fine. I was told that because my egr valuve code is coming on that this may cause the issue. Is this true can a egr valve cause a transmission to run differently? And if not is there something else that may do this? Again it does not happen all the time.

I doubt the EGR has anything to do with it. It could be a speed sensor, shift solenoid. Has the check engine light come on?

The light does come on once and a while but then goes off after starting the car maybe 2 times.I had it checked on the computer and was told the code did come up for the egr but was also told 1811 was the transmission code that came up.
