My daughters 1997 Saturn SC2 coupe automatic transmission has no reverse? what would cause this?? and how can i fix it without replacing the transmission.
There can be several things that will an automatic transmission not to work properly. The most common cause is a lack of transmission fluid. Broken shifting linkage can also cause the problem.
clutch plates could be welded to gather
Letting the fluids get too low (leak?), switching repeatedly from drive to reverse while the wheels are turning (did the van get stuck?), wear and tear from high miles, towing/pulling something too heavy, or not having the fluids changed every once in a while are all possible reasons an automatic transmission could burn up.
Most likely the reverse band (in an automatic) - Also note that some of these cars used an anti-fill/drain-back valve in the valve body, this can cause a delay in how long it takes for reverse or low to start working.
could be either transmission shift linkage not engaging reverse ( stops at neutral ) worn joint connectors sometimes cause this. or reverse clutches or gears bad inside transmission.
i would make sure that the engine is idling at the right rpm cause to fast of rpm can cause that for sure
Assume it's an automatic. You probably have a bad valve-body or clutch pack in the transmission.
If this is an automatic transmission, more than likely the transmission is on it's way to the junkyard. Usually failing transmissions lose reverse first, then the higher forward gears - last will be the lowest forward gears.
The copper T does not block fluids from the uterus and should not cause dryness.
Use only Genuine Nissan Matic J ATF. Do not mix with other fluids. c Using automatic transmission fluidother than Genuine Nissan Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission,which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
the only problem that you can repair yourself would be with the linkage. but if all other gears work except reverse then the problem is probably internal and should be inspected by a professional. it makes a big difference if the trans. is manual or automatic also.
Bad bulbs can be the cause of your reverse lights not working on your 1999 Toyota Tacoma. A problem with the reverse switch or bad wires can also be the cause of your reverse lights not working.
