without a detailed question, i can only assume that the transmission has went out, either that, or the Transmission Fluid level is low.
Change the filter, flush transmission, fresh filter and fluid' walla it might work! We did this,and still no drive.
It means that your transmission has been hot and the fluid has overheated. If the transmission is still functioning properly then have the fluid and filter changed ASAP.
If you mean stalling in Drive when stopped at Traffic lights. I had the same problem with my 2000 Lincoln Navigator. It was a clogged transmission filter. I changed the transmission filter & oil. The problem disappeared immediately. 24,000 miles later all is still good.
You have a 12 year old transmission that is in serious need of service. Have the fluid and filter changed and see where you stand after that. If the problems still persists, take it to a professional.
Change the fluid and the trans filter; a dirty trans filter can cause this.
There is no filter in a manual tranny. if you have an automatic there is still no removable filter in it.
what is the problem when the car will not go in drive or reverse? and the transmission fluid is still full
If it is automatic you have problems. If it is standard you still have problems. Put some transmission fluid in it then if it still "slams" you need a new transmission. ---------- The transmission is not slamming itself yet you are experiencing the gear drop in rather hard inside the casing. Check your transmission fluid level and make sure its full. Also check the consistency and color of the fluid to see if it needs to be changed (filter also will need to changed). I had an old Pontiac do this very thing and it was because it was extremely low on trans fluid. - jedgell233
No.
If the transmission jerks 1st check the level of transmission fluid. To do this place the car in park, Place the parking brake on, Next start engine and pull out the transmission dip stick wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel re-insert the dip stick and check the level if low add transmission fluid to the proper level. Now drive car and if it shifts normal you are done. If the transmission does not shift then the transmission oil and filter must be changed. Once this is done test the car and if it shifts you are done. If it still jerks you will have to take it to a transmission shop for their diagnostics.
try the cool line fitting from the radiator to the transmission i just had that problem on a 1994 mercury Sometimes you can leak out of the tailhousing of your transmission if the housing seal is slightly damaged
Transmission oil and filters should be changed every 30,000 miles unless you have a newer car, then they should be changed every 100,000. If the car is still running weird, take it into a shop.
