The car slipps or jerks in the low gears

I have a 2005 Buick Century with just 61000 miles on it. The transmission slips or jerks after running on the highway or after lengthy running around intown. I had the transmission fluid flushed and filter replaced. This did not help the problem. Sometimes the slipping isn't real bad, but a few times it slipped hard and really jerked the car. I don't seem to have any problems shifting from park to reverse or to drive. What could be the problem??

    I had the same problem with my 2006 century, had to have values replaced and them program in computer changed. Ran great after that.

You should go to a transmission guy they have computers that will find the problem and i think that its free... but i think that your transmission needs to be rebuilt, theres a lot that can go wrong with them things

My car jerks going down the road its a 95 Buick century and it changes gears fine when I take off just stares jerking a few days ago

When you say it "jerks," this description could fit several actual symptoms. If by "jerks" you mean the engine misfires, it could be caused by the need for a major tune-up (including plug wires and distributor cap), or it could be a problem with fuel delivery, contaminated fuel, or defective components in the fuel system.
I assume the CHECK ENGINE light is on (and has probably been illuminated for some time now). Begin by doing a readout of the stored codes, and use the results to begin your diagnosis.
If by "jerks" you mean the transmission is slipping (engine revs but car slows down or doesn't accelerate), you have a transmission issue. If the transmission fluid and strainer/filter have not been replaced within the past 5 years or 50,000 miles, have a complete transmission service performed.
If by "jerks" you mean that the steering wheel wobbles or pulls, you have a problem with the front suspension.
If by "jerks" you mean that the car shudders or pulls when you apply the brakes, you need brake work.
I think I covered all of the "jerks." ;)

What does that mean when my 1993 buick century jerks.. when i stop at a light then go it jerks

Your transmission is most likely slipping, you can get anti slip fluid at your local parts store, be sure not to overfill, you may be low on transmission fluid check the level. If this does'nt help there could be significant damage to the transmission. Motor mounts can have the same affect you can have your local mechanic inspect them. Usually a mechanic will check the motor mounts for little or no charge.

DIRTY TRANSMISSION OIL .

no but a low fluid level could cause a slip telling the ecm there is a slip top it off then clear the code and drive a few miles if this code comes back i would say there is internal damage to the tranny
