My transmission is slipping from 2nd going into 3rd gear. It revs up really high when shifting and jerks. All the other gears are fine. my car only has 104,484 miles.
Car acts like it doesn't want to take off, then stalling while driving, it sometimes starts to jerking. When pressing the accelerator it doesn't want to accelerate. I sometimes pull over to turn the car off to see if it would do better if I restart it, but then it starts acting like it doesn't want to crank back up.
I was driving about 40-60 MPH when the engine mildly jerked and the speed elevated slightly without acceleration.
While driving on the highway I was going about 60 MPH and the car jerks mildly and the speed increases about 3 MPH faster without more acceleration.

- What is wrong
- Honda is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 accord, 2007-2010 cr-v, and 2005-2008 element passenger cars manufactured from july 1, 2004, through september 3, 2010.
