Replying to: imidazol97 (Jan 31, 2007 12:47 pm) The Honda Dealer has it. They said they don't get into the internal workings of transmissions- they just replace them.   I thought that was surprising.

Replying to: whidbeyrep (Jan 20, 2007 9:13 pm) I replaced the range sensor and it fixed the problem. I still have a problem with that pesky O/D light flashing occasionally. Today I drove from Whidbey island to Seattle and it came on about six times (Always resets when turning the key off) At 60 mph the rpm is around 2500 sometimes a little lower, I can always tell when it is about to flash as the tranny shifts to a lower speed and the rpm goes up. I have read previously about the solenoid block causing the problems. Im not sure about the solenoid block as I believe it is inside the cover on the front of the CD4E tranny. Does anyone know if it can be changed out? Does any one that has had a previous problem with the O/D light know of a fix. Is it normal for the Rpm to run around 2500 while cruising at 55 -60 mph. I did install the tranny cooler (simple process)Bypassed the radiator all together. Replies to this message: briandtatum (Aug 22, 2009 10:38 pm)
#2136 of 2409 Ran Over Something now Tranny Problems by kimberlie Feb 17, 2007 (7:19 pm)
Ran over a large flat piece of metal but it flipped up and wedged under the car (1997 Nissan Sentra 5 speed manual). Had to jack car up to un-wedge. Was dark but was wedged behind the tranny. Now car won't go into 3rd or 4th gear but 1st, 2nd & 5th are ok. Is also leaking something but not sure what until daylight. Left car afraid to drive it. Any idea what I may have screwed up?
#2137 of 2409 Transmission problem with my Ford expd. v8, 5.4 engine by ayakata Feb 26, 2007 (7:59 pm)
I have a 1999 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer, 5.4 liter Triton V-8 with 165,000 miles. It is clean with NO problems of ANY kind since I bought 2 months ago, as a matter of fact the car was driven from Boston to washington d.c with no problem. However, yesterday I noticed some little resistance in its movement and today the truck refuses to advance or reverse and people says it is the transmission. I checked the transmission fluid and there was a fluid in it, however the engine oil level was very low, so I immediately added some engine oil and trans fluid but the truck still will not move forward or backward. In order not to cause further damage, I had the truck towed to my mechanic and who also says that since the truck will not moves, it must be a trans problem.   I am just wondering if it could be something else or maybe something that does not require another trans, or maybe there is something else that can be tested or checked on the truck before buying another trans, and if the need be that I must buy a new trans, if there is any suggestions, advice or any helpful hints, tips. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sorry I forgot to mentioned that I just added remote paging security alarm auto remote start and new dvd player installed in the truck. I added these features on saturday and the trans problem start on sunday... could this just be a coincidence or have anything to do with the transmission?   I have a 1999 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer, 5.4 liter Triton V-8 with 165,000 miles.

Replying to: ayakata (Feb 27, 2007 7:02 am) Many years ago I had a Olds Cut Supreme that wouldn't shift in forward or reverse. I had it towed to a dreaded national chain(Mr. Transmission)... turned out it was some hose that had come lose. Cost about $60... they could have scammed me for a new transmission and I never would have known.

Thank you for information. This is information is very useful to me right now because my truck is currently at the mechanic of what seems to be a similar situation. I would really appreciate if you can assist me in determining whether I have identical problem as the one you describe by telling me the followings: 1. Exactly what and where to look for 2. Exactly what did you do to find out that the car only has a minor problem. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. As stated earlier, the mechanic is scheduled to begin working on the truck tomorrow, however I will ask them to hold on just in case something magical might happen, God knows that I really do not have the money for transmission due to my current financial situation.

Replying to: ayakata (Feb 28, 2007 10:58 pm) uhhh... this was almost 15 years ago. But,I recall it being some kind of outside hose or vaccum line. The only thing I did was tow the car in to have them look at it... when they told me it was a minor repair I just wanted to pay my bill and get out of there.   I do recall the owner keeping a Louisville Slugger baseball bat in the corner of his office... and for some reason they would only accept cash. I sure wasn't going to argue.   Anyhow, good luck. Hope it's a simple repair.

Thanks...I hope so too. I will just ask the mechanic to do another look again. Thanks
#2143 of 2409 Lexus tranny problem by sean300 Mar 03, 2007 (6:36 am)
Hopefully someone can advise me. I have a 1998 Lexus ES300, 137k. I drove through a water puddle and 40 minutes later the MIL was on and the car is straining to shift gears. Now, the car will start by die within seconds. Any ideas and solutions would be appreciated.
