I just had my transmission rebuilt by a reputable mechanic that our family hase used for years. One day after getting the van back, it wouldn't go into reverse up a hill (made a rough sound like the tranny was grinding.) Took it back to the mechanic, he checked it out, said a wire was shorting and replaced it and that fixed the problem. The next day we took a trip. We had traveled about 70 miles and were going up a hill, when the van started bucking and jerking. We pulled over and it died.
Since we were in the middle of nowhere, I restarted the van after about 20 minutes, and started towards home. The van ran fine all the home (70 miles) then started the bucking and jerking about one block from home. We made it to the house. The next day (Monday) I took it to a another mechanic. It ran fine, he drove it and checked the trouble shooting codes. No problem. Later that day I took it out on a gravel road and it started bucking and jerking again. Stopped for 10 minutes and then was able to make it home only to have it start the same problem about 100 yards from home.
Any ideas on what it could be???
