    This is a mechanical problem, not a transmission-related issue. From the sound of it, I’d have the left front suspension parts checked ASAP. It sounds like a classic case of balljoint failure. If this is the case, then, you have to have it repaired quickly. If not, you may find that you are driving on three wheels — for a moment, it does happen — while your vehicle’s now-separated left front wheel bounces and bounds through traffic, posing a threat to others (not too long ago, a driver was seriously injured when a tire crashed through the windshield, smashing it).

    I’d honestly have all suspect pieces replaced just for peace of mind.
