 I just had my motor rebuilt put it back into my 1997 Jimmy got it running good then transmission pump went out so i had that rebuilt they said all parts that broke were accounted for so my tourqe converter was fine. Now that we have put it all back together again. I can move the shifter to all gears but it is like it stays in park, it doest actually go into any of the gears. the shift cable moves, it is full of fluid I even tried shifting it to neutral and it doesn't even roll. could anyone tell me what the problem is please I am stumped on this one.

| transmission stuck between nuteral and 1st gear on my 2004 nissan sentra ser spec4. Dealer states that might of been caused due to operator error, due to shifting back and forth from 1st to 2nd and heating up gears therefore might have a warranty issue. anyone have any suggestions or heard of this problem in other manual gears? | |

| Hi, I have a 98 Taurus with 123000 miles and just had the filter and fluid changed. Here's the question I got thinking about after post number 2130. I priced a filter and fluid for my trans before I took the car to get the work done because I was going to bring my own parts in but decieded to just let the mechanic get the filter and fluid. On the bill the the filter is the same price that I got from the parts store but the fluid is a $1.00 a quart cheaper. Do I have to worry that he put in mercon (at a $1.00 a bottle cheaper) instead of mercon V? My owners manual calls for mercon V. Will having mercon (not mercon V) hurt my trans? I don't want to call and question him and make him think I don't trust him. Thanks for any thoughts. | |
I will be driving down the highway and the car will downshift from 3rd gear down to 2nd gear. The car runs good until it gets warm and then this problem starts. I took it to my mechanic, it shows the code P0715 input/turbine speed sensor. I called my neighborhood parts store and they said that they didn't show a Turbine speed sensor for this car. Then I called my Ford dealer ship and they too said the same thing. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have a question regarding manual transmissions and the clutch. It is my first time driving a manual transmission and I learned on the vehicle. The car was purchased new and has 10000 miles on it now, but again, I learned how to drive a manual transmission on the vehicle. The clutch feels absolutely fine when driving the vehicle, but when on a hill, if I put the car into first and turn it off, then take my foot off the brake, I can feel the car lock into first, but then after a second, it seems the clutch slips and the car rolls forward a bit. Then the clutch seems to catch again and the car stops. Then it slips and rolls an inch. Etc, etc. I've always used the emergency brake whenever I park on hills so never noticed this before. Is this a bad sign that I have already worn out the clutch and it is slipping? Or is this common for a manual transmission on a hill? I was under the impression you could park on a hill simply by putting the car in gear and turning the car off.
