Transmission is hesitant after putting it in gear it does not want to gain any speed, this only happens sometimes. The car was running fine on Friday I parked it after work started it on Sunday to go to the store and this transmission problem started.

Good morning.

When was the last time you changed the oil/filter in the transmission? A clogged filter will cause this issue. Here are two guides that can help us fix it

and

Please run down these guides and report back. Is the check engine light on?

Thank you for your help. I need to know what the light on the dash board next to the ABS light is for.
