Vehicle gave no kind of notice just started jumping out of gear going down the main road. It will jump in and out of gear and just stops shifting. Have to turn engine off then back on for it to go back into gear and sometimes that still does not work. Almost got hit from the rear because it jumped out of gear.

Car is reluctant to move at low speeds (25/30 mph). Gear moves very reluctantly into higher gear. Hear loud cluttering noises from gear box, metals grinding against each other. This causes slowing the traffic and feel as if someone will hit me from behind. Feel unsafe to drive. Safety issue.
