My car has recently been developing a few problems that I think are transmission issues.
1. About 50% of the time, when I shift into reverse, the car pauses, then slams into gear.
2. Especially in the lower gears, I get a humming or light buzzing sound (as if something is spinning very fast.) The "speed" of the hum changes as I switch gears.
3. The car seems to stay in the lower gears longer now. This is most noticeable when I have just started driving the car (before it warms up) and when I am going up hills.
Am I correct that this is a transmission issue? Is it likely that I will need to get a new transmission? What is the cost of this likely to be?
