My car is acting funny it was fine up until this evening. The transmission maintenance light was on, then all of a sudden the car started sputtering and jerking. I bought some transmission fluid, but I am not sure if that is the real problem or not. I do not know what I should do, but I do not want to get hustled at an auto shop and pay for services that will not fix my problem.

Hello,

The first step is to read the codes the car has then we can go from there.

Here is a guide to show you how to get the codes.
