Asked by Mskeke37 Sep 15, 2016 at 12:41 PM about the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu 1LT FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

engine revs anytime I press on the gas pedal until it kicks into gear to drive. Would a new transmission fix this? I was told the drum and pin was broke and a new transmission would fix the problem.
