for a while now, i've had the following problem..
say i drive 15-20 miles on the highway...i get off and pull up to the red light off the exit. light turns green and i go. it starts out okay, but when it goes to 2nd gear (auto transmission), it jerks pretty badly.
there are no problems with any other gear transitions...only from 1st to 2nd. and it only happens after i've driven a decent ways. after a few days of mild driving and short trips, the problem disappears, but once i take a longer trip (more than 20 miles or so) the problem reappears.
the 'check engine' light came on last week, but went away after a day, and it even stayed off when the problem returned.
i don't know enough about automobiles to take it to a mechanic and trust what they say. i'd feel better if i had an inkling as to what the problem is, that way i can not get suckered by a mechanic.
are there any forums to ask these questions and have them answered by people who know cars?
thanks for any help people!
