Transmission failure

2005 Chevrolet Vectra 20000 miles
Hello, I have a Vectra and my problem is that, a few seconds after braking, the car jerks and hits strongly. All the mechanics I have visited recommended me to replace or repair the transmission, but it is rather expensive. What do you think?

I went through your same situation and the failure is in the solenoids from the automatic transmission, the ones before the central shaft. Servicing the transmission is not expensive at all and your problem will be solved.

manny is right, by cleaning the solenoids, the vehicle will start working properly again.

Jerks

2003 Chevrolet Vectra 145000 miles
Hello, the problem with my vehicle is that, when stopped at traffic light, it purrs continuously. I need to set a gear so that the annoying noise disappears. But since yesterday, gears cannot be changed, or at least they are not registered. I was told it must be the computer that is failing, but I do not know how to make sure that this is the problem and where to buy one. Even more, the interior light has stopped working.

It might be a transmission programming problem or a solenoids failure. I recommend you to scan your vehicle so that a diagnosis is provided.
