Now that I've got this ABS-test thing figured out, thanks to all who helped solve that mystery, I noticed something rather alarming after getting my car back from the shop yesterday. It went to the shop to get the cv boot and fuel filter replaced, and then to Jiffy Lube for an oil change.

This is what has me worried:

When I bought the car last week, and before I put it in the shop, the transmission shifted smooth as butter.
Now after I got the car back from repairs and maintenance when I go into reverse, I can feel my transmission shift and the car kind of goes 'thunk'. Same for putting it into drive, but not as pronounced. I can feel the whole car move.

I mentioned this to my husband, who had his car repaired at the same place a few months ago, and he said his car has had the same thing since it came back from that shop. He also noted that his gas mileage is significantly and mysteriously lower.

Any thoughts? Is there anything they could have done? I'm going to call the shop and see what gives.
