A slipping transmission is like driving on ice or trying to get away from the monster in your dreams. You are running like mad but not going anywhere and when you wake up you are still in the same place but are overheated. Change your fluid and transmission filter.

My 95 Mazda 929 feels like the tranny it vibrates a lot whenever going like 40 when the gas is let offAnd when accelerating to the floor it slips really badBut when slowly hit the floor goes fine.?

If it's slipping, it's most likely a slipping clutch problem. If it's an automatic, you're talking about a complete transmission rebuild. If it's a manual shift you're talking about a new clutch plate, pressure plate and throwout bearing and you'll need to have the flywheel resurfaced. The vibration could be several problems, but you had better take care of the slipping problem first, because once a transmission starts slipping, it doesn't last long. Clutch surfaces in an automatic aren't very thick and they don't last long once they start slipping.


What would cause power surge in a 91 ford escort?

A power surge under a load is probably the transmission slipping. If its a manual transmission the pressure plate is slipping on the disc. If it is an automatic most likely it is a worn clutch pack slipping. If it surges at idle with the tranny in park the surge is usually a defective IAC (Idle Air Control) valve.

How do you fix an auto transmission that is stuck in the park position?

You need to determine if it's a stuck tranny or a linkage problem. Set the brake. Get under the car and remove the linkage end from the tranny. If the tranny can be shifted by hand from here then the problem is in the column. If it's still jammed take it to a shop for repair as it is beyond the scope of this page to explain how to tear down an automatic transmission.

Is 350 to 400 dollars cdn fair for adjustment of the reverse and kick-down bends a tranny cooler and a tranny filter on an automatic 89 240SX?

Tranny cooler? sounds like bs to me. But the kickdown is something this car has a problem with. I recommend going to multiple mechanics and ask for a quote.


When you put your truck in reverse its making a slipping noise and will not move when you put it into drive from park theres no problem?

Your transmission is done. Take it to a tranny shop. If you have a Manual tranny: Your blocker rings are worn out or you somehow successfully ground the teeth off of a straight gear. If it's an auto tranny: Could be hydraulic valve problems or clutch pack/band problems.
