This is not a D.I.Y. job. The best you can do is check the fluid and change (do not flush) if it dirty or smells like varnish. The filter could be plugged and this is best checked by pulling the transmission pan (this is an automatic, right). If that doesn't fix the problem, your only alternative is a dealer service department or transmission shop.
If would not be bad for a car engine to shift from third to second gear if you are traveling at 30mph.
Yep, then shift from second to third gear.
No thanks, I do not want to shift to 3rd gear or drive.
no you start in 1st gear then 2nd hold around 4000rpms depending on what you have for a engine
97 Chevy Z71 truck will not shift into third gear.
For second gear about 1500 rpm is easy on the engine. 2100 rpm is good for third gear when you are driving around the city. This varies depending on your car's specifications and how powerful it is.
You need to have the transmission computer checked for codes. It will default into second gear only when a malfunction is detected.
When driving a stick shift, you shift up as the engine begins to rev in each gear. You will downshift as the engine begins to slow.
The engine will over-rev depending on what size engine you have
its the same as the engien oil the drain plug below the gear shift its the same as the engien oil the drain plug below the gear shift same as the engine oil the drain plug under the gear shift
Are you sure that it's third it's not shifting into, and not fourth? The transmission is designed to not permit shifts into fourth (overdrive) until the engine and transmission have warmed up a bit.
Engines work best in a certain range or RPMs (revolutions per minute). The time to shift is when you've moved outside that range. If the engine is spinning fast you change to a higher gear, if the engine is spinning too slow you shift to a lower gear.
