Why is my car not changing gear after dead battery?

When I shift my car I have noticed a knocking noise. Do I need a tune up?

When shifting a manual (or standard) transmission on a vehicle, if you hear excessive knocking noises immediately after shifting, you are probably:1) Shifting into the next highest gear too soon, or2) Shifting into the wrong gear - for example, going from 2nd to 4th gear, or3) Not running the engine fast enough after shifting to the next highest gear, or4) Your engine is out of tune if you know you're doing steps 1,2 and 3 correctly


What is wrong when your car overrevs before shifting into 2nd gear?

If your car has a manual transmission, and it over rev's in every other gear as well, than no doubt it is your clutch. Other wise it is your transmission.
