I WAS DRIVING DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE THERE WAS A SLIGHT INCLINE ON THE ROUTE I WAS TRAVELING. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL, THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION AND I GOT NERVOUS THAT IT MIGHT BE THE ALTERNATOR. HOWEVER, I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ALTHOUGH IT DID NOT WANT TO PICK UP SPEED. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEARS AND WAS MAKING WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A WHIRRING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I DROVE THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT TO MY MECHANIC'S SHOP. HE WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AS THE VEHICLE IS ROUTINELY SERVICED. IT APPEARS THAT THE WAVE PLATE FAILED AND THERE WAS DEBRIS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR
