    5 days after head gasket was replaced i was driving and came to a stop light. As the light turned green and i pressed on the accelerator the car did not move. Then all of a sudden the car started to move but very sluggishly. As i drove home i almost had a couple of accidents due to the non responsive car. Currently it is at a shop, and i am being told that the transmission has failed.*ak
