Q: Shifting issues during usual acceleration
I have problems with the transmission, for which I went to the dealership but they claimed everything was fine as there were no error codes appearing during diagnostics. However, while shifting, the transmission seems to be mixing gears and it gets difficult to shift to the chosen gear as if it confuses gears. This occurs during usual acceleration. What might cause this?
