To take care of this problem, the car should be brought to the local mechanic. They can diagnose the problem. Many will diagnose for free or take the diagnostic fee out of the total if the owner chooses to fix the car at that shop.

How does the servo work in a transmission?

It can vary according to the transmission. The servo's main job is to help control the application of bands to the clutches, mostly for higher gears such as 3rd or overdrive (4th gear). It is a spring loaded assembly that applies a band based on the fluid line pressure. A faulty servo can usually cause harsh upshifts/downshifts for the higher gear ranges.
