What happens if I accidently topped of steering fluid with about an ounce of dot 4 brake fluid?

It could be the universal joint. That's what was wrong with my car when it was doing that same thing. I am not sure how much it cost to fix it at a mechanic but I believe the part runs about $30 - $40 maybe a little more or less. I bought the part and my brothers replaced it for me. So I'm not sure what it would cost for labor.

This could be potentially bad, the transmission is slipping. This could be that your transmission is bad and needs to be rebuilt. It could also be a less expensive problem with a sensor on the transmission. Find a reputable transmission repair shop, and/or dealer to find out. Be weary that either can dupe you out of alot of money in the process, hopefully you still have warranty coverage. Good luck.

Check your "u" joints for excessive play. With your car in park, grab the drive shaft, and see if you can turn it. You shouldn't be able to turn it very much at all. If you can, you need to have them replaced.

Check your motor mounts and/or tranny mounts. Thats what it usually does when one of them are bad. You can check this pretty easy, you just need someone to help you. Have some one set the park brake and hold the brake pedal down and give the engine a little gas, as you whatch the movement in the motor. If you can see alot of movement then a mount(s) are bad..
