I am a newbie to the car mechanic world.
Here is my problem: I have an automatic 98 Tocoma 4 cyl, 4x4. Sometimes when I accelerate from a stop or very slow speed, I'll hear the engine start to go, but the wheels arent turning. Then it will suddenly engage and the back wheels will spin slightly.
Is my transmission about to die? Or is it something simple, like the ATF is low? I did recently change the fluid and filter. I did not go through the steps outlined in this forum section for checking the fluid level; I just used the dipstick the same way I would check the oil level.
Can anyone give me some advice?
Thanks!
John
