Hey guys wanted some advice on the following problem:

Not certain its a tranny issue but I suspect it is...

Today i noticed that when i released the brake the car would jerk a little bit. Everything was fine driving and stopping, and only when I released the brake to start moving again, the car would jerk forward about an inch.

Then about 1km later i was driving, pressing the gas and the car wouldn't move. The RPMs were going up but the car wasn't moving. I put the car back into park and then to drive and it was fine. In the next 1km it happened 4 times and by the time i got to the garage the car would barely move forwards.

Now when I move the car from drive back up the park there is a major grinding/squealing noise.

Is this a tranny problem?

If so, any suggestions?

Any good (but reasonable priced) shops around?

I'm in Edmonton but don't mind having the car towed to Calgary if the price is right.

The few shops I called today were quoting between 4-6k.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nadim
