Sorry but no, it's prolly the cable that connects the speedo to the tranny, or the speedo itself, or perhaps the speedo gear drive at the tailshaft of your trans, if you can get behind and up in back of the speedo, or just carefully loosen the speedo unit, pull it out, the cable should be easy to see, it has a clip holding it into the back of the speedo, unclip it and turn the cable with a pair of vise grips or whatever, if it's broken you'll know. It's a matter of the process of elimination, start at the speedo and work your way back to the trans if you have to, to find the problem. jr

What to do if car speedometer malfunctions?

Not knowing the year, make and model vehicle it limits how much we can help you.

What would make your transmission not go into gear i changed the fluid and now it won't go into gear or anything this is on a 2001 ford escort zx2?

The fluid change could have caused sediment to move around which could have clogged the valve body, blocking the flow of fluid, i would drop the trans pan, clean it, change the trans filter, and put in quality high mileage fluid with an additive such as trans sea-foam. Also make sure the linkage on top of the trans moves when you shift gears, it could just be a broken trans linkage cable.


Why would a 1987 Nissan pickup transmission go out after changing the fluid?

If you waited to change the trans fluid too long it became thicker and when it was changed the new fluid was too thin and most older vehicles shift better with thicker transmission fluid Just a thought! By any chance did you just pick up any brand of trans fluid?, or did you make sure it was the right fluid for your make and model. IF YOU JUST GRABBED ANYTHING THAT SAID TRANSMISSION FLUID. You may have grabbed the wrong one. If that is the case your trans can very well slip. (Quit on you)


Will the radiator over flow make the transmission go up?

How do you check the transmission fluid in 2001 VW Jetta?

I ASSUME YOU MEAN AUTOMATIC TRANS. IF IT IS NOT LEAKING THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON TO CHECK IT IF IT IS OR REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE, A DEALER IS YOUR BEST BET, THE FLUID HAS TO BE A SPEC TEMP AND VEHICLE UP ON A LIFT TO ACCESS PLUG ON BOTTOM OF PAN, IT CANNOT BE ON A JACK TILTING BACKWARDS Also be sure that you do not add the wrong kind of fluid. Many people make this mistake, and add hydrolic trans fluid that you would buy of the shelf. My 1997 jetta auto trans used vw specific trans fluid the was mineral spirits. You could damage a maintence free trans with the wrong fluids.

Transmission is stuck between third and fourth gear car is an '89 ford probe. How can i remedy this problem?

Check under the car a the shift linkage to make sure the shifting linkage is not loose or rusted where it bolts into the floor of the car. Then check the level of the trans-axil fluid by pulling out speedometer cable where it goes in the trans-axil. If low check manual and fill. Both of these situations will cause the shifter to stick.
