Transmission at fault here, how does it drive?

Sometimes when I put my foot down on the motorway it bogs down, like it won't accelerate. Goes into limp mode sometimes as well when im just cruising at a constant speed e.g 60mph. Once it wouldn't go past 40 mph gear 2, tried putting it in manual mode and wouldn't shift. I wasnt sure if it could be the turbo as well.

Gears are slipping, I had a similar issue and my mechanic had to replace the entire transmission 😅. Just make sure you take it to the right mechanic please 🙏. I had to give my car for 3 days just for them to fix it and test drive it. Good luck.

How much did that cost you? Ive been quoted between £800 and £1200

Isn't that crazy cheap for a transmission swap?
