“Car was running a little rough going up hills at 106,000 miles so I had a transmission service done at aamco. 2 days later the car is in limp mode barely made it home coasted. Low rpms has no power and for some reason it will not go into reverse now. Gets higher rpms and pulls in neutral. Before that the car was fine beside a suspension/ shocks that were never able to be repaired by every mechanic I went to.”
