Want this question answered?
Your 2000 Ford Contour cannot reverse because of a transmission failure problem.
No, but the current one needs to be serviced. The Pathfinder should have computer controlled shift solenoids, so have a dealership/transmission shop diagnose a possible electronic problem with your transmission. I would also a transmission flush followed by a filter change done because the problem could be debris is the line going to the LO-Reverse clutch. If that doesn't work, then the transmission needs to be rebuilt by a professional (if you have never been inside a transmission you cannot do the rebuild yourself). If you cannot afford to have the transmission rebuilt, then you might be able to get a replacement one out of junkyard. I caution you on a junkyard transmission, because they have been exposed to the elements, they have a tendency to fail.
I think it might have the same problem as my jeep ,,,it only go forward and when i shift the gear to reverse...it won't. Have ask around was told it have to be the transmission (Ugh! an expensive repair)
in some vehicles, two axles cannot be pulled out at the same time. part of the transmission drops down and causes the problem you have now. if the wrong axles were installed, your problem may occur. finally, if the inner joint was not installed completely into the transmission, your vehicle will not move.
While this is technically possible you cannot do it without completely destroying your transmission. Unless you enjoy buying new cars, don't try.
sounds like a transmission replacement is needed. you could always buy it from a scrap yard or online, but you most likely wont get a warranty and it may not even work once it is installed. the best route would be to just buy a new transmission, and if you have the know how, install it yourself.
Can you shift gears? IF you can its at least working. I guess your question means the opposite. So if you feel slippage when shifting gears or cannot operate in one gear (reverse, for example), the transmission is about to give out.
I brought my 1997 pathfinder to Nissan and they told me that this happens all the time when you reach a certain km. What it is is a small valve at the back of the transmission that does not close properly when the engine is cold. That small valve needs to be replaced, but the problem it's way at the back so having your transmission completely redone is a better way to go. This valve does not close the pressure cannot build up and you cannot go into reverse.... what you can do if it's just starting to do this... try putting it in drive then reverse or warming up the car before taking off or what Nissan told me which is really stupid..... park the car in backwards....
Most likely the wipers themselves cannot be fixed, because it's probably not the problem, usually the transmission that controls them would be the problem.
You cannot reverse or take back a fertilize action.
I believe alldata has a TSB on this problem, but I haven't been able to access it.
Without knowing the details of the problem this cannot be answered fully. But changing the fluid and filter will do no harm
