First my power steering was leaking and going out it started to make noise then the transmission just wouldn't shift, unless manually. But it would go into all gears, but if you downshift then you have to manually shift all over again. It hasn't been jerking or reving the rpm. Just one day it wouldn't shift, have not drove since then.
Power steering and transmisson problems not the same issue
leaking powerstering making noise is because the pump is sucking air or worn out your tranny not shifting could start with low fluid and end with a worn out tranny you need to get it maintained and or serviced

sounds like you need to check your throtle position sensor first. that will cause this problem.you can go to autozone they cancheck it with a scanner. hope this helps you out . Phil

your gas tank needs flushing out,maybe got gritt inside. carburator needs filter needs cleaning .,possible air leak from gaskets., what about distributor breaking down

its the filter. changing the filter will fix this malfunction.

Check the fluid level on your clutch slave cylinder. Have someone depress the clutch while visually observing the movement of the levers under the hood. Could also be a bad throwout bearing.

Well, there could be several possible problems. It is not uncommon to have a little harder shifting after a fluid change for a period if the system was low prior to the change however, If you had the fluid changed using one of those reverse flush machines I see the problem getting worse. Most stations want to use the back flush system to do a fluid change now days. That is because the newer model vehicle have a metal filter screen which is re-usable and is designed at the factory to use Synthetic Fluid. In the older model vehicles, 2000 to 2005, manufacturers where still mixing the types of filters that were being used. This model has a standard filter that model uses the newer filter. If you went to Jiffy Lube and didn't specify you wanted a regular Fluid and Filter change they hooked it to the machine and charged $140+ for the job. A regular Filter and fluid change with regular fluid would have run about $50. Every time, and I mean Every time, I have had a fluid change using that back flush machine on a vehicle within 6 months I have had to have the Transmission repaired at a shop. If you didn't have the fluid changed using that backflush machine then your problem is just adjustment to the new fluid being at the proper level. If you did, start saving for a Transmission rebuild at a shop, it's not far away.
