with mine the transmission was going out and it could be something as little as a bolt or as big as the transmission itself (my Ford has 227000)

What is wrong when shifting to second gear makes noise but shifting to other gears are normal?

Synchronizer maybe. not sure if that's how you spell it. I grind a little downshifting into second but not when shifting into any other gears. A mechanic buddy told me that's probably what it was.


What is the problem with Ford Explorer transmissions?

If it's like other Fords, the synchros break down, preventing the transmission from changing gears. Getting a manual transmission should avoid this problem.


Why wont your manual 2002 Saturn shift out of 1st gear?

The first cause of the jump out from one to other gear is the loose shifter fork, which connects the shifting linkage and gears of the transmission. The second cause is loose shifting linkage itself, which connects the gear shifting knob and shifting fork. The shifting linkage and shifting fork become loose due to the rapid changing of gears from one gear to other at high speed of vehicle. The third cause is the misalignment of shifting linkage to the shifting fork.

Reverse is usually the first to go, followed by first gear. Time for a transmission rebuild.


2002 Chevy hd 2500 that the transmission shifts but does so very hard revs up too high before shifting but all gears working could this be the filter?

Had a similar problem. Mine was a shifter solenoid? ( i think) This was after I had the tranny rebuilt and it was still shifting very hard. Once they put the solenoid in no other problems.


1994 Nissan sentra i am having problems when shifting from reverse the other 1-5 gears work great but when you go into reverse you have to literally hit the stick shift and the clutch is depressed?

Sounds like a problem with the idler gear in between the reverse gear and the layshaft.


What causes a 1988 Buick Reatta front wheel drive with automatic transmission to have a vibration under the seat only when shifting into third gear?

If it vibrates briefly only while shifting, it's probably the transmission slipping. If all other gears are shifting ok, you're about to loose the transmission.

I have recently bought a Citroen Synergy 1.9td when you shift to second gear it makes noise but shifting to other gears are normal can you tell you what is wrong?

....The Citroen, as do so many others, employ in the standard transmitions a group of fingers, if you will called "syncronizers" They are what help the transmition to traverse the gears smoothly. (moving from one gear to the other) they help insure that the gears have at least one tooth in alignment with the tooth of the other so you don't get grinding or premature wear on the gears. The sounds you seem to be getting are that of a syncronizer out of "Sync" Some times this works it self out, and the problem will subside, in more drastic cases, the syncs may need replacing.


How do you shift gears on an ATV?

It depends on the make and model. Some have a toe shifter like a motorcycle that is operated with the left foot. Other models have buttons on the handle bar that shifts gears electrically. Still other, newer ones are shiftless. You put it in high, low or reverse, and no shifting is required.
