Abstract Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\frak{b}$ be an ideal of $R$, $M$ an $R$-module and let $d$ be a non-negative integer.
We introduce a general $d$-transform functor $T_{d,\frak{b}}(M,-)$ and its right derived functors $T^i_{d,\frak{b}}(M,-)$, $i\in\mathbb{N}_0$,
on the category of $R$-modules and study their various properties. The connection of these functors with some kind of generalized local cohomology
functors $H^i_{d,\frak{b}}(M,-)$ is discussed. When both $M$ and $N$ are finitely generated, some finiteness results on $T^i_{d,\frak{b}}(M,N)$
and $H^i_{d,\frak{b}}(M,N)$ are concluded. Then, we study how the depth and dimension of certain subsets of $\mathrm{Spec}(R)$ affect the behavior
and vanishing of these modules.
