Transmission shifting hard

[budkuhlmann]

Would a bend axle shaft cause a transmission to shift hard??

No

Okay, I just wanted to eliminate that theory. Last winter I lost control on some ice and slammed a rim against a curb and bent the axle. It only shifts hard and squeals in lower gears and feels like it takes forever to get up to speed. What do you recommend?

Start by checking the fluid. Might need a fluid change? Filter? Did u fix the axel? Cause if its bent and ur drivin it? Wow that's gota be an uncomfortable ride.

It is. It's been parked since Christmas because of the axel and because I got a company vehicle. My company truck is in the shop so I have had to this one as a temporary back up.
