Do you need to stop the car in order to shift gears when driving an automatic transmission?

you must stop the car to switch from/to drive, park, reverse.
no, you don't have to switch from 1st, to 2nd, to 3rd. that's what's automatic
no, you dont have to stop to change between all forward gears ie 1 st 2 nd 3 ed 4 th all that is done automatically, you dont even have to think about it.
no need to stop when manually shifting gears(ie racing your automatic) if you like to choose when you automatic changes from 1st to 2nd to D to OD you can, usually you can up shift from 1st to 2nd to D to OD by just pushing the sifter to the next gear but not OD to D to 2nd to 1st because of detents in the shifter will catch the shifter, unless you press the button or pull back the column shifter and down shift. last gear(D)to netural(N) you usually can freely move back and forth. just dont try to push the button and go into R (for race) while your driving it will destroy you transmission and put you in the ditch or on comming trafic. dont go from D to 1 or you will probably red line your engine and blow it!!!

Was the 1977 Datsun pickup truck standard or automatic transmission?
it was standard but you could order it with an automatic from the factory
What do you use to choose forward or reverse gears in an automatic-transmission car?
The shifter. D is for drive which is forward and R is for reverse. N is for neutral. You have to have the breaks pressed down all the way in order to move out of park and into D or R.
Can a 2013 VW Beetle Auto Trans be flat towed?
No automatic transmission driven vehicles can be towed any distance at all without damage to the transmission gears. You have to lift the drive wheels off the ground in order to tow it. On some vehicles you can disconnect the drive shaft (if it is not front wheel drive.) The reason that it causes damage is because when the drive wheels turn, the interior gears of the transmission turn too and since the transmission is not working, there is no lubrication being pumped inside the transmission. The lack of lubrication causes gear damage.
What is the automatic transmission fluid capacity in a M2 112 freightliner truck?
Need to know the transmission model in order to answer this.
I have a 1994 f 350 ford and why do I have to let off of the gas to Chang gears?
It is necessary to let off the gas in order to change gears on a F350 Ford because the transmission will not allow it to change gears unless you do.
Where does the modulator valve go in the 2007 automatic 4.2 liter transmission?
The modulator valve on a 2007 automatic 4.2 liter transmission goes on the underside of the transmission. You will need to jack up the vehicle in order to reach the valve.
What is a manual transmission in a car?
In a car with a manual transmission the driver not only has to choose between the different forward gears(4-6 of them) himself, he also has to operate the clutch, the gadget that momentarily separates the gearbox from the engine in order to change the gears.
How do I repair transmission slipping?
You don't repair transmission slippage. Transmission slippage is usually caused to damage with the transmission, usually with wear and tear of continual automatic changing in the gears. Transmission repair is not typical so transmission replacment it the alternative means. And it is said to be costly. Be prepaired for that. You can try to use alternative means to stabalize and reduce the transmission slipping, but that would be temporary. There are synthetic fluids to place in the transmission which does one of two things; 1. Breaks down the transmission fluid to remove build up and grit which might have built up and congested the transmission gears needed to shift or 2. create traction by coagulating the transmission fluid in order to help re-enfforce more traction with gear shifting. Recommendations: Do not change transmission fluid and transmission filter, for the fluid in the transmission should be thick and gritty, at this point, and should be more than enough to create traction with helping the shift changes in your car. Change your gears to drive on "1" or "2", instead of regular "D." In doing so, your transmission will shift at different intervals, letting you drive better with less slippage. But remember, in driving on "1" or "2", you will waste more gas and your regular automatic shifts when in "D" will alter shifting later than usual, which will also cause a slower take off and a more sudden stop.
Need transmission control solenoid diagram?
Hello, Cars equipped with automatic transmissions contain many intricate components that work together in harmony in order to provide a seamless operation for the driving experience. The transmission control solenoid is a cylindrical device that can regulates the flow of transmission fluid through them. When particular control solenoids are opened, they permit transmission fluid to flow to particular clutch packs. (which change the gears engaged with your car's engine) For an example of a transmission control solenoid diagram, I chose to illustrate the solenoid from a 2000 Honda Civic. Note in this diagram of the automatic transmission housing that the transmission control solenoid is reference number #32. The control solenoid also comes with a gasket (ref #33) and a bolt (ref #27). To view this diagram simply click on the 'related links' feature below:
What happens when the transmission breaks while driving?
It will depend on whether it was an automatic or manual transmission. Then it would depend on what broke. If a clutch breaks you may see a lot of smoke and not be able to drive very fast. If a pump breaks then you may coast to a stop. If a linkage breaks then you may not be able to change gears OR you may have to select a different gear in order to drive at all. If a gear breaks then you may hear some very expensive sounds and see some pieces flying around.
Can you replace an automatic transmission on a 2000 Honda Accord ex v6 to a manual transmission?
Yes, that is possible. But you would need a donor car in order to have all the parts necessary. Otherwise the cost of doing this would be astronomical. My advice is to sell the Honda with an automatic transmission and buy a Honda with a manual transmission.
What is the difference between automated and manual systems?
"Manual" means "done by hand". "Automated" means "done automatically". A manual system is one that you have to control, configure, change, or drive yourself. Think of a manual transmission on a car; in order to change gears, the driver has to push the clutch and then change the gear by themselves. An automated system is one that changes by itself when a certain condition is met. Again, in car transmissions, an automatic transmission will change the gears when the engine reaches a certain number of revolutions per minute (RPMs).
