Bring it to that shop, give them the symptoms and let them check it out. If they get confused, or if you don’t have a regular local mechanic, start asking around for the best transmission shop in town - but not one that is a national chain (e.g. They can easily put it on a lift and inspect your splash shields and transmission connections, clean them up, whatever. If you have a regular local mechanic (regular, down-home shop - not a chain “auto care” place) just tell then about it. Whatever you do, don’t take it to the shop your mom went to (was it AAMCO?) If it was exactly the same issue then a transmission replacement probably wasn’t needed.
The computer would notice the breakdown in communication & turn on some kind of “safe mode.” There are various modes, but one would involve hard shifting (the jerking). So, if one of your electrical connectors was cracked or something, or you had a degraded wire or whatever, it could easily malfunction when wet. The computer has various “safety” mechanisms that will kick in if it detects a problem.
Your transmission is computer controlled & has a bunch of electrical connectors on it that communicate back & forth with the computer. Wet weather problems are almost always about electrical components getting wet. Your description is not all that clean though, so its hard to say.īut if you are absolutely certain that this is only a wet weather issue - and only a wet weather issue - then the transmission actually slipping doesn’t make much sense. For slipping the engine can rev way up without any power making it to the wheels, and the shifts would be incredibly soft (sort of what slipping is). It sounds to me like you might just be talking about hard shifting rather than slipping.
