Transmission jerks into gear when turning corners at a normal speed

A failing transmission or an engine misfire.

It is located in the tailshaft housing of the transmission. You simply unbolt the retainer, un-plug the wires, and pop out the old sensor. Stick the new one in, bolt down the retainer, and plug in the new one.

Does it down shift appropriately when accelerating? Normally when you stomp on the gas while in a high gear (travelling at 40mph), the transmission will downshift to a lower gear giving the car much more torque. This can cause the car to jolt or jerk forward and accelerate suddenly.



If this is way off base and you\'re experiencing something else, please let me know

Have your error code read (if the CEL is coming on, there should be one stored in the computer). Some auto parts stores will plug in a reader and pull the code for free. Your transmission could be going bad or it could be as simple as a gear pressure/speed sensor wearing out (which is a relatively inexpensive fix), but the error code should help you figure out what's going on.

only 4 gears, and turbohydramatic Transmission,to much tourque - but normal, try to hit that speed easiliy.. so it does not wear out the gear to much.. always did this right!

My 2012 gmc terrain has done this twice. Remote started to cool, got in car turned and turned key, out foot in bread to put from park to drive and it jerked forward and killed when I hit the gas. Moved about 2 inches. Then the next day (yesterday) I got in turned key and put foot on break to put from park to drive and put foot on has petal slowly and it jerked. Let off the gas and hit the gas again and it was fine. We are about to leave for a 5 hour trip. Is it safe? What's wrong? Will I get a check engine light? Worst case what happens? Thanks

Clutch disc or plate problem, break in clutch plate spring
Usually it’s all clutch related

fuel pressure cud be bad at that speed--transmission may hav issue in top gear--find a specialist to test--------

Transmission is slipping. Take it to a shop right away.

One possibility is that the speed sensor is going out. When that happens the computer gets bad information and thus makes bad decisions. When the car goes into 2nd all of the solenoids are actually off. That is so if there is some kind of problem the transmission gets no power, then it still has P, R, N, 2nd. It would be kind of weird, maybe, to see only the 1-2 shift being affected but I can't really think of anything else that could cause that kind of problem.
