you need to have the bands adjusted.
Your transmission is slipping and should be checked asap. on some models they can flush the transmission and adjust the bands this will give you a little more life out of the transmission.
Probably the transmission "valve body". Try a little transmission seal conditioner, such as Trans-X. You might be able to get a little more life from the transmission. If that doesn't work, you'll need to have the transmission rebuilt.
the location of the transmission filter is inside the transmission and in order to replace the filter you need to drop the transmission and open it. the filter is not in the transmission pan like most older cars and can not be changed by some one that dosent know a little about how to rebuilt a transmission.it might be better to get the transmission flushed.
From what I heard and from my past experience. Sometimes it does hurt the transmission. What I mean is it depends on the transmission wear and tear. For example; I had a 1990 Nissan Pathfinder SE, Transmission started slipping a little, so I figure it would help. Well to make the long story short. I change transmission filter and fluid and I got 1 more year out of it.
well 1883 is pretty old i mean i usually get a new car after 8 years tops, so 126 years is a little long, u might want to consider a new car
Depends on where you live, who does the work, used or rebuilt transmission. Can run as little as $1200 to as high as $2500. Seek out a good reliable independent transmission shop recommended by friends or the better business bureau. Stay away from any chain operation.
Hi, My '94 Concorde problem started exactly as you are describing. A total rebuild & 4 trips back to the shop & it's still not right. Found out that the transmission was replaced with a Chrysler Dealer rebuilt transmission years ago . Talking to the mechanic who rebuilt this transmission, he found out that the transmission was from an Intreped & not a Concorde. Don't know weather you are the original owner but this might help a little. They really had some big problems with transmission. You need to find out what code is being set, then you can diagnose.
if by "passing gear" you mean, when you put your foot down to pass, the transmission goes down a gear, then it is not actually slipping. it just means it is trying to go back into top gear. sounds like you need to back off a little and learn how your car operates correctly by passing gear, do you mean the transmission goes back a gear when you put your foot flat to the floor? if so your transmission is not slipping, but trying to go into correct gear for the speed you are travelling.try not flooring it and let the transmission do its job. PS: "D" on shift slector does NOT mean DRAG race. it means drive
It could just be a detent, but most likely the bearings are going in the transmission and it's a little mis-aligned when you try to go, pushing it out of gear.
On my 1997 Grand Cherokee Limited, you could feel the slip - especially after backing up first thing in the morning and then shifting into Drive.My dad has a 1995 and he had slip issues too.The fix was simple for both Jeeps - check the transmission fluid level. As little as one pint of lost fluid can make the transmission start slipping. It seems like such a small amount given the capacity of the transmission but filling to the correct level fixed the slip on both Jeeps.Do not over fill.It worked for me and might not for you - but it is a quick and inexpensive first thing to check.
It usually means that the vehicle has sensed a slipping wheel and has cut a little power to stop the slipping.
The first thing to look at is the ATF. Remove the dipstick, put some of the fluid on a white piece of paper and see if it has a black coloring. Smell it, if it's burned that's a sign that the transmission has been slipping. Slipping, that's when the transmission "slides" into gear when it shifts or it may not shift "crisply" into gear when you move the gearshift. Sometimes a transmission will grab then release and grab again. Any of those kinds of problems are typical of a worn and failing transmission. Often people fail to change the transmission fluid regularly. You should follow the manufacturers recommendations to maximize transmission life. When SOME shops change the transmission fluid they'll tell you that the little bits of shiny stuff in the bottom of the pan is evidence that the transmission is wearing and try to sell you on a transmission rebuild. Don't do it! While EXCESSIVE debris in the bottom of the transmission pan is evidence of serious failure, SOME debris is inevitable. Keep the fluids clean and drive it till it drops.
