well i got the car at 189000 miles and its at 192000 right now and i just wanted to figure out what's wrong with it. I've had it for two months and when i first got it, it was hardly ever doing it maybe after driving for 30 minutes. it would hard shift and after that it would seem like it's having a hard time deciding what gear to be in. and now i can't even go 5 minutes of driving it before the engine light comes on and the transmission might start to mess up. i have to ease off the gas for it not to hard shift. but it still has a hard time changing gear. could you help?

the check engine light can help us help you... have it scanned.... your local parts dealer should do it for free.... it may be a speed sensor, or you may need a TCM, maybe even a tranny.... get us the codes, and we can guide you from there.
