help....i have a 2000 ls rodeo with 93000 miles that when i accelerate to 20 mph it suddenly jerks

automatic?

History on the tranny fluid? Has it ever been changed? Is it full? Is it Leaking?

If auto, when you pull you the selector does the numbers on the dash match the number on the selector?

it is an automatic and it has never been changed

when you pull you the selector does the numbers on the dash match the number on the selector?

Better check the fluid level. These transmissions need regular fluid changes.

Yes all the selectors match up.....took it to a local shop tranny fluid was low but was told that the governors seal will need to be replaced. I am wondering if this is covered under the powertrain warranty?

oh yeah. You are the first owner. Yes it should be covered by the 10yr 120k warranty.

...took it to a local shop tranny fluid was low but was told that the governors seal will need to be replaced.

are they saying that's what's ""causing it to when i accelerate to 20 mph it suddenly jerks"" ?

I have an 2000 Isuzu Rodeo automatice that does the same thing, only the gear selector numbers on the dash dont' match the actual gear it's in. Car jerks real bad in the mornings. Any help?
