The past few months my car has been leaking tranny fluid and shifting really harsh (I have an Automatic, only 80K miles on it) and making a low humming like something is scraping in the wheel well. So I took it to a shop and found that my axle seals needed replacing and that I need a proper transmission service, also that the humming is my differential due to poor lubrication from sh*tty tranny fluid I had in the car. I had this done, and for a few days it was driving fine. About 2 days ago, I was pulling out of my schools parking lot, in slow, grueling traffic, going maybe 10 mph, and my car wouldn't shift into 2nd gear. I had to go WOT just to make it over the small hill I was on and I didn't even reach 15mph. I pulled off to the side, turned her off, turned her back on, then it worked. It shifted ridiculously hard for a couple hundred yards, but it worked. Now it's driving fine. The humming is back though and I'm starting to think it may not just be "poor lubrication" or the differential. I think my transmission is fixing to quit on me.
I really don't want to go back to the shop, it cost me 390 bucks already.
Anyone ever had similar problems?
