The torque converter and clutch are the point where the engine and the transmission engage.
The 1997 Chevrolet express 7.4 liter engine should never have transmission fluid point into it. The engine holds 6.4 quarts of motor oil. The transmission holds nine quarts of transmission fluid.
Can you build the transmission and rotor hub, that's the real point
I believe that's .017 point gap with the automatic transmission equipped 390
You did not state the engine but assuming it is the 360 v8. the starter is on the passenger side near the bottom of the engine and at the point where the engine bolts to the transmission.
The clutches are engaged using hydraulic pressure. The input shaft from the engine to the transmission runs the hydraulic pump which causes EVERYTHING to happen inside the transmission. A section of the transmission called the valve body is responsible for routing pressurized oil to engage the different clutches. Any point that results in low hydraulic pressure will cause the clutches to slip or fail to completely engage. Low hydraulic pressure can be caused by: low fluid level, a worn hydraulic pump, leaking seals in the valve body or even a partially blocked transmission fluid filter. Unfortunately, a blocked filter usually means clutch debris has built up to block the filter which causes the clutches to wear rapidly. Bottom line, once your transmission reaches the point you describe, it's probably done. If it's caused by anything other than low fluid, you need to either rebuild or replace the transmission. Even if it's low fluid the transmission could be permanantly damaged. I wish I could offer better future.
Not sure what you mean. Typically you turn and hold the ignition key over to engage the starter to crank the engine over. When the engine starts and runs you let go of the key and the engine continues to run. At which point here does the engine have a problem?
YESAn automatic transmission car has a safety feature called a "Neutral Safety"It will not allow the starter to work if the shifter is not in either neutral or park. Many new cars will only start in park.On a manual transmission car the transmission being stuck in reverse probably means a serious failure inside the transmission that could jam things up to the point the engine wont start.
drain the oil out of the engine via the drain bolt at the lowest point of the engine, then add new engine oil to and run it for a while it get it all mixed up, then drain that oil (just to make sure u got rid of any left over transmission oil) then add new oil and you should be right. If you cant do this let take it to a mechanic, transmission fluid is entirely different to engine oil.
Somewhere around the flywheel. The flywheel is directly between the engine and the transmission. Look for a cylinder attached to the outiside of this union point.
what would be the point, since the starter is normally under the hood, behind the engine, maybe even under the transmission.
Point-to-point transmission
Try to locate the cross member underneath the front of the car. It is the metal frame on where the engine and the transmission sit. It is very strong and sturdy and ideal as a jacking point.
