3 Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problem of the 2007 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 06/12/2019

My Nissan starts to jerk from first gear or when I slow down and start to accelerate it makes a hard jerk like downshifting on a manual transmission and releasing clutch too fast. I research and there are a lot of public forums on this issue on sensors going bad to cvt fluid change to transmission issues. I took to my mechanic and they took it apart completely said had to replace the torque converter. So this will be a $1000 repair and I hope this will resolve the issue.
