My girlfriend has the same problem.. If it is an automatic tranny, one of the transmission gaskets rubs against the axle (I believe) and constantly wears. Fixing it will only replace the gasket but not solve the problem as it is a lousy design. I know this is true on the ES (V6), but I am not sure about the 4 cylinder. Fix it if you dare but the auto transmission wont last very long even in good working order. Hope it helps.
Either 4 or 6
The car might have an automatic cut off to either disengage the transmission or cut off the engine. Otherwise you will rip apart the transmission.
Either/or The symptoms described equally support both diagnoses
Well it sounds to me that you either have a leak in your oil pan, or your transmission.
could be burning either gear oil, or motor oil. check for leaks and replace gear oil
No it will not blow your engine or tranny up it has nothing to do with either of them. The thing to look for is if a speed sensor is out.
either a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder or a 2.5 liter V6
The purpose of the 'No Phone Zone' project is to encourage people not to use their phone for either calls or texting when driving. It was started by Oprah Winfrey.
does this vehicle have a manuel transmission sounds like clutch is slipping on a manuel transmission. if an automatic,either the torque converter or the auto transmissions is failing
If you know there is nothing wrong with the transmission, it is either the shifter handle not releasing completely, the linkage or cable to the transmission depending on which you have, or where they connect to the transmission. Did anything happen shortly before this started? Impact, any work in the engine compartment, hit a large pothole? Year, make and model of the car might be a factor in finding an answer.
It is true that a vehicle with an automatic transmission can start in either park or neutral.
It's probably the transmission, either the valve body or the clutch pack. Either way, it means a rebuild of the transmission.
