So this morning I started my car, went to take off down the road and didn't get more than a couple hundred yards before I suddenly lost power. I pulled over to the side of the road, turned into a driveway to turn around and as soon as I put it in reverse and gave her gas she died. Tried it a few more times and the same result. Eventually I was able to get her turned around, but she was jerking all over the place. Drove the rest of the way home at like 20mph and she was just lurching forward, any gas I gave her the rpm went down before jerking forward again.
I parked her and got out and there is kind of a grinding noise (sounds a little like a circular saw cutting through wood sort of) every once in a while from the rear half of the car, the engine itself sounds/looks fine, but whenever I try to give her gas the rpms drop before they go up.
What is this? I'm guessing my tranny is just gone and I should start shopping around for another one, but I figured I'd ask here first..There was nothing wrong with her until this morning, she pulled hard and shifted fine, tranny fluid looks a little old but not too brown...probably the original fluid though, I was planning on changing it this weekend...no engine codes apart from a bad MAF sensor..
Any help would be appreciated. Want to know what I'm dealing with before moving forward.
