Would a soleniod circuit for the transmission make a car not start?

It might depend on the vehicle and transmission in question, but usually a transmission fault, of any kind, will have little or no impact on the engine's ability to start. With a transmission solenoid problem, you may not be able to make the car move, but it should still start.About the only, transmission related problem that would prevent the engine from starting would be a faulty neutral safety switch, or maybe a faulty brake or clutch switch, which can definitely prevent you from starting the engine, even when working properly, that's their function. If the neutral safety switch is faulty, you may be able to start the engine with the transmission shifter in a position other than Park or Neutral, or not at all. Normal function allows engine starts in only Park or Neutral, and for automatics, sometimes only with the brake pedal depressed as well. On manual transmissions the neutral safety switch allows engine start only with the clutch pedal depressed.**Note: some older vehicle models may not be equipped with neutral safety switches, brake switches, or clutch switches.


Can you disconnect the automatic locks on a 1983 Chevy Lumina so they do not lock when the car is put in gear but still use the manual switches?

Yes but it has to be done by someone that knows what they are doing,. normally there is another fuse for the automatic locks. I don't have this type of vehicle but check your fuse box inside the vehicle. You should be able to just remove that fuse and of course that one will not work.

Can you change a automatic to manual transmission and about how much does it usually cost?

Not knowing the make or the model it is impossible to guess. Generally you would have to change the radiator, run the transmission lines and change out flywheel and possibly driveshaft. With older cars (early hydramatics, for example), you do not have to change the radiator and there ae no transmission lines, but in addition to changing the flywheel and driveshaft, you also have to add the linkage to the carburetor. You might need to change the ECM (computer) and you may be able to put in an oil cooler instead of changing the radiator. Another way to go would be to contact your local automotive junk yard and purchase a wrecked vehicle that is the same as yours except automatic. The vehicle would need to be damaged in a way that doesn't effect the parts you are interested in. You would then have everything needed to swap over including peddle assembly, steering column or console, linkages, wiring, switches, crossmember, flywheel, driveshaft, correct speedometer gears, cooling lines, radiator and so on.

How do you change backup light switch on a BMW?

Backup light switches are different between automatic and manual transmission bmws. If you have the automatic the switch is under the shifter. Disconnect the battery and remove the shifter boot. Unplug the switch wires and replace the switch and reconnect the wires and battery. If you have a manual transmission the switch is on the passenger side of the transmission above the Allen type filler plug. Disconnect the battery, unplug the wires and unscrew the switch with a 19mm wrench. Screw in the new one an torque it down then reconnect the wires and the battery.


What is the difference between manual transmission automatic transmission and Continuously Variable Transmission?

As I understand it: Manual: There are a set # of gears (usually 4-6) and you switch between them as required. Automatic: Again a set # of gears (usually 3-5), the transmission switches them automatically, based on current speed and other variables CVT: Instead of having a set # of gears, there is a belt (or chain?) between the only 2 "gears" that exist. Difference being that 1 of those "gears" changes it's circumfrence, giving it an unlimited # of gear ratios. The transmission determines what the appropriate gear ratio should be, based on speed, how hard you press the pedal, load, etc. Hope this helps.
