Question
I have a 1997 Chrysler Sebring that have been the very bane of existence.  When I accelerate, I have to accelerate very gingerly or the car shifts back and forth. While driving my car shifts back and forth almost like it wants to turn off or lock up. I think that my transmission is going out, but problem is I just paid for a new transmission almost two years ago. And I have had a transmission flush about a year ago. Please Help. Thanks  

Answer
if the transmission fluid is ok then its a trip back to the shop.2 years is not very good for a repair but experience with chrysler it doesnt surprise me.Unfortunately i dont do any work on trannys i refer all problems to a shop,,,,the engines on these cars are bad enough,,,,so sorry cant help much but im pretty sure its the governor or valve body going out,,,maybe the solenoid also but its a big problem thats going to have to be a specialist fix.
