Gear ratios will let the engine run at the speed and load at which it is most efficient, which is good for low fuel consumption and an exhaust that is as clean as possible.
Gear will not shift from park, is low fuel the cause?
Worn or loose steering linkage or worm gear.
A motor will die when put in gear if there is a major vacuum leak. This causes an excessive amount of air to enter the engine and lean out the fuel mixture.
Average at 2 tons an hour or 4400 pounds. There's also a number of penalties apply, e.g. gear down is 100%+ to consumption.
The average fuel consumption level of a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle varies depending on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling. The fuel consumption at constant speeds on top gear on flat concrete range from 17.7 l/100km at 50 mph to 27.5 l/100 km at 112 mph.
If a 1988 Chevy Cheyenne dies when it is put into gear, check the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is not getting adequate fuel, it will cause the car to die.
Between 2000 and 3000 RPM i find to be the best/smoothest and good for fuel consumption
When the "bendix gear" is engaged by the starter, sometimes if all is not aligned properly, the gears will not mesh causing gear tooth breakage. also excessive heat can cause warpage.
no you don't have to drive with overdrive on permanently, but you will change gear quicker and less smoothly, also your fuel consumption will increase by as much as 50%.
It sounds like fuel starved. Try the fuel filter or the fuel pump.
It is possible that the speedometer on a 1997 Plymouth will only work intermittently because the gear is worn out. Sometimes dirt can get up into the area where the speedometer cable is housed and cause excessive wear to the gear.
