VerifiedHello and welcome to justanswer.com
If the engine revs up then bangs into gear when accelerating from a stop then you have a burnt/damaged forward drum. Sometimes the gearbox fault warning will be on and a code stored for stall speed. You will need to have the transmission rebuilt or replaced.
