Why does your 1993 Corsica die when stopping?
Selnoid has gone out in the transmission not allowing it to downshift to first when slowing down then stopping.

What are the affects if the kick down cable is bad?
The transmission won't downshift when you press hard on the accellerator.
When driving a automatic transmission commercial vehicle when should you downshift?
The purpose of the automatic transmission is that is shifts for you. You'll want to lock your transmission into your ideal gear for going up and down steep inclines to prevent it from downshifting, but, other than that, you typically let the computer do the shifting for you.
What would make transmission not down shift in a 2000 3500 full size van?
A transmission in a 2000 3500 full size van may not downshift because the speed sensor on the transmission is bad. It may also not downshift because the filter and fluid need to be changed in the transmission.
You were just given a manual 95 chev cavalier and have never driven manual before you were just wondering when you down shift for a stop sign should you go all the way to 1st gear or can you stopin2nd?
You can actually downshift to whatever gear you please. However, to take off properly, you should be in first gear. Downshift gear selection is determined by how fast you are going when slowing down. For an example, you would not want to downshift to first while slowing down from 55mph. You would want to downshift into 1st at somewhere around 10-15 mph or less. You may find it easier to downshift to 2nd gear and switch to 1st for takeoff. Many times when slowing down for a red light, it changes to green when traveling about 20-25 mph. In this example, you would shift to 2nd and accelerate normally through the gears.
After going over 40 mph in a dodge stratus when slowing down between 30-35 mph what would cause it to feel like it's missing out?
If you are getting a very harsh downshift, take it to a shop (dealer) with the ability to update the software for the transmission computer.
What would cause an automatic transmission to delay downshift when slowing down The transmission allows the rpm's to drop as low as 200 before shifting nearly causing the engine to die?
It's probably the torque converter lockup relay. It could also be the torque converter, but there isn't any way to test this on your own. You'll have to take it to a trustworth transmission shop.
What is the purpose of sec?
the one on new years? cos the earth is slowing down
Do you have to use the clutch when you downshift?
You should use the clutch anytime you shift, up or down. It is possible to downshift without the clutch, when there is little torque involved, such as slowing for a stop, but that still causes momentary high torque on the engine and transmissioin components. There is usually a torque spreader inside that will handle these torque transients, but it is designed to only handle the momentum of the transmission and final stage clutch, not the input stage clutch and engine.
