I recently went to get my oil changed and they told me that I had a transmission leak, oil leak, and I needed a coolant flush. I had it looked at by a friend and couldn't find any leaks. I just replaced the head gaskets and radiator after over heating a few months ago. Now I feel the engine shake intermittently when I'm stopped somewhere and I have trouble climbing hills, feels like the gears aren't going in. The other day, I was going up hill steadily at about 65mph and the check engine light started flashing & and went away. I don't know if I need a simple transmission flush but the diagnostic tests costs so much that I'm hoping someone can help me.
