High Reving No Movement
Hello how are all you doing hope you are having a good holiday. I have a question about my wifes car. About a week ago it has been acting strange. It does not matter if the engine is warm or not. After the car is started it is put into reverse and everything seems to be fine. Then when it is put into Drive the gas petal is pushed down and the engine reved up for about 2-4 seconds then the car will jolt forward and drive off just fine. This has only been happening when the car comes to a complete stop or about 0-7 miles per hour. Could this possibly be water in the gas? I honestly hope this is not the transmission. Please if anyone has any insight on this please let me know thank you very much have a great day.

Re: High Reving No Movement
If your getting Revs I doubt its the gas, and you said reverse works fine, so I'm guessing its the transmission.

Re: High Reving No Movement
yeah it's most likely the transmission since your engine's doing its job.

Re: High Reving No Movement
Try checking the fluid level first. Sometimes low fluid levels produce such shifting problems.
If that's okay, try a fluid and filter change. Generally, this cures shifting problems about one - third of the time. Otherwise, we would need to more info, such as make model and year of car, engine size, mileage, any related problems/ repairs, etc.

Re: High Reving No Movement
as usual, with absolutely no data on what vehicle or options we're discussing, all we can offer is extremely generic advice.
Start with fluid level
