Could a front end impact cause a gear shifter cable to jam up and how?
Yes, because the shifter linkage connects to the transmission on the front, and there are generally some metal brackets to be damaged. Depending on the severity of the impact, these could very well be damaged.
Single most common metal in electrical transmission lines?
ACSR - Aluminum Cable Steel Reinforced
How do you put coolant in ford Windstar?
How can I repair the metal hose that is inside of the plastic cap and pulling the antifreeze but do not see where, and drips between monobloc and automatic transmission
What could be wrong if the transmission on a 1997 Chevy Tahoe changes very slowly but the transmission fluid is clean and there are no metal flakes in it?
Shift point setting may not properly set at the right pressure.This is controlled by the TV or shift cable. If you look where the air butterfly plate is under the hood, or air control, the 2nd cable attached next to the throttle cable on the side is the TV cable. There is a metal tab that can be pushed in to release the cable housing to adjust the transmission shift points. It only takes a couple of clicks at a time to make a difference in your shift pattern, so go a little at a time.
What do you call the part that the shift gear cable is attach to along with the stick shift under the arm console?
That section is called the gear shift linkage. Most likely, the clutch cable ends in an "end loop", which is a circle on the end of the clutch cable. There's a metal ball at the bottom of the shift lever (the gear shift, the thing you change gears with) that goes into the end loop. This metal ball going into the end loop is called "Ball Joint Linkage". The little fastener that keeps the ball and the end joint together is called a bushing. Don't let a mechanic replace your clutch cable when all you have is a broken bushing!
What is the metal part of the cable for?
The inside metal part of a cable is usually made of copper and is where, if it is an electrical cable, the electricity is conducted.
Is a transmission pan cast?
Transmission pans can be cast metal, stamped metal, or plastic.
How do you fix a bouncing speedometer on a 1998 F150?
Unhook the speedometer cable from the transmission and the instrument cluster in the dash. Take the actually metal cable out. Clean it with solvent. Re-grease with "lithium-based" lubricant. Re-insert. Also check for fraying. If so, replace cable.
What is the difference between a fiber optic cable and a regular cable?
Fiber optic cables utilize glass or plastic fibers instead of metal wires to transmit data. A fiber optic cable allows for a higher rate of the transmission of data, which is good for things like the internet.
Your 2001 for windstar will not start turns over but does not ingage?
my 2001 ford windstar will turn over and make a clanking noise like metal to metal is hitting? Just replaced the starter and had the battery checked what would be the problem?
Metal in transmission pan?
Metal in the transmission pan indicates a problem with the transmission. The most likely cause is gears grinding against one another, shaving off small bits of metal as they do so.
1994 fwd aerostar will only shift from first to second if under no load acceleration or will shift by releasing gas pedal to allow shift is this an adjustment or a new transmission?
It MAY be related to the "downshift" linkage. Some vehicles use a linkage between the throttle body/carburater and the transmission. If the downshift linkage is adjusted wrong you could have the problem you are describing. On the other hand, if it's a computer controlled transmission, it could just be a sensor. But yes, it could also be a transmission problem.Have the transmission serviced. Complete fluid change and new filter. If that doesn't help, then take it to a professional.AnswerAnswer to my own question. I changed fluids, there were large broken pieces of metal in the pan. Took it to a shop, and there is no second gear, it was shifting from first to third. Victoria Transmission would rebuild one from old parts ($800) or a new rebuilt ($1300) and $500 to install or $100 from PicknPull and take a chance.
