I had a leak in the radiator that was replaced when they did it they didn't clamp the hose so my transmission fluid came out. It was replaced and the hose tightend, but it continues to jerk and then not want to move in gear.

    Is there a Service Engine Soon/Check Engine Light on? If so a scan tool will be needed to retrieve codes stored in the computer of your car, these codes will show where to begin to diagnose the problem. It could be a transmission problem or even an ignition problem (failing coil making the engine run rough), but if the vehicle just does not move when put in gear and the oil level in the trans is OK then the problem may be in the transmission.
