transmission jerks

[rev]

spark plugs were changed 1,000 miles ago, and fuel filter changed 5,000 ago. i guess im going to have to take it to a transmission shop, and hope to get an honest answer, instead of them just telling me i need a new tranny without looking at it. i asked the women that owned the car before me, and she said it has been doing it since about 15,000 miles. why she never took it to the dealer under warrenty, i have no idea. also, a friend said getting my pcm tuned could maybe fix it. is there even a slight chance that would work?

Do these tranny have a computer module in them? My 99 Intrigue has the same issue, it feels like somebody rearended me when it shifts. It happens after 30 minutes and is hot enough. A tranny guy said it would be $600 part but with 115K on it, he suggested new tranny. I no squat about newer transmissions but declined, beteween $1800 for that and a whole lot of other things going wrong I'll be selling as a parts car.

Cliff what do think of what he told me and could this be similar problem with rev's car?

the tranny is controled by the PCM and $600 for a new one is a totally outrageous.

Jon $600.00 for a new PCM is realistic, $600.00 for a reflash is absurd.

The trans is controlled by the PCM just like the engine. It's probably a physical part in the trans that they are saying needs to be replaced. I'd ask the mechanic some more info about what exactly needs to be done.
