Is it possible that I may not have a transmission problem?

Yes. Depending on the year of the vehicle, it may only have simple devices such as linkages or a vacuum operated system. Later model vehicles have partial or fully electronically controlled transmissions. These controls can consist of sensors on the engine, instrumentation, braking, body and transmission. Information provided to the computer(s) enables it to manage the transmission performance.
