I just had my friend replace the drivers side lower control arm. The next day, my transmision would hesitate when it was supposed to upshift and when i go to put it in reverse, it hesitates for a second and then slams into reverse. I got under the car to take a look and found a small 2-wire clip that my friend forgot to plug in that i had to push from the bottom upwards, located towards the wheel end of the control arm but that did nothing to fix my problem.

Do you have any codes in the computer?It sounds like a pressure issue inside the transmission.Did the problem start right after the control arm was replaced like the first time you drove the car after it was replaced?
