Transmission problem
1993 Toyota Corolla Front Wheel Drive Automatic
My corolla has been having trouble starting up lately, presumably because of cold weather. I spent a whole ten minutes trying to get it started and when I finally heard it try to turn over, I pumped the gas a little bit to give it a push. It started, though a little clunkily. However, as I drove, I realized my transmission was acting funnily. When I give it some throttle, the transmission will hesitate, or do nothing, then, when I let up, it will kick into gear and once it's there, it will switch at random, like a bike when the chain jumps a gear. Even worse, when I give it more throttle to go into passing gear, I feel the initial downshift before it kicks into passing, but it stays there, constantly losing speed, just giving more gas and not gaining. Then if I let off, it kicks into gear again and starts acting sporadically. Did the startup have to do with the transmission problem? Do you think there's an electrical problem?
