My transmission is acting up. When im in drive my car does not want to go right away. I have to put it in second gear to get it to take off, than push it into drive at like 20. Also when I go in reverse and I push on the break it makes a very bad grinding noise, but I just replaced my breaks. Can you help?

Hi there,

I would be booking the car in to get a transmission specialist to do a test and report on the transmission, there will be a few test to be done to help determine the cause of this problem, as for the brakes, best check that a pad has not been put in back to front, and that there is nothing loose or a foreign body jammed in a backing plate.
