My car has been jerking very bad and I got a tranmission kit done on it. It still remain doing that jerking. A couple weeks later my car cuts off on me at the stop light I re-cranks it up it seem okay then got a couple miles up my car cuts off and I try re crank and push on the gas to give a boost it shut complete off with a loud rattling noise and some somek then down it went and nothing worked on the car. Then afterwards everything came on but wont crank up and all you hear is a whinning noise while trying to crank it up

The transmission is probably not to blame the jerking was probably a misfire. Sounds like an engine problem.

Consider an OBD scan (Code Reading) With most problems like this the scan must be done. Todays autos are very complex (Not like the old days).
The whinning may be a failed starter (Not related to the original problem) Just over worked & old?
Try the scan & repost your question with findings. Please try to avoid terms like "cranks up" and "cuts off" these terms can be difficult to understand since the context can be confusing, consider terms like the engine quits, starting the engine. The better you articulate and proof read your posting the better we can give you good informed advice.
