The seals in the internal workings of the transmission can leak by when cold and then when the fluid warms up they soften and begin to seal properly and unusual problems go away. I have "repaired" many automatic transmission problems with cold operation symptoms, by simply adding a can of seal conditioner. This softens the seals and helps them to seal up when cold. I have never seen any damage to a transmission caused by adding the seal conditioner. Make sure you don't overfill the transmission. If there isn't a drain plug, you can use a suction gun through the dipstick tube or take a cooler line loose and crank the engine and look out.
The temperature will keep the 1986 ford tempo automatice transmission to stay in first gear because this car was design for the cold. Changing the gear to early and a cold temperature could ruin the car.
Could be a few different things. Bad shift forks would be the most likely culprit if it were a manual transmission. For an auto, probably either a faulty transmission ECM or worn synchronizer gear.
When the cold transmission slips when shifting in the second gear, it means that either the fluid level is not correct or the filters are faulty. When this happens, your gearbox may need extensive repair or may need replacement.
If the transmission in a 1998 Jeep Cherokee skips second gear when it's cold, the bands might need to be adjusted. There could also be an issue with the rear clutch.
Yes, have the fluid and filter changed.
Sounds like the front pump in the transmission is tired.
Transmission temp switch is most likely cause.
It may be the ball locking mechanism(it helps the gear stick stay in place on not jump out of gear) that is found under the gear stick or on the transmission. You may need to replace or it could just been loosen of.
the transmission is always in gear. if its not there is probably a stripped gear in the transmission.
Could be low level or dirty transmission fluid
The transmission casing contains the transmission and final drive gear.
There is a picture of a gear in the related link. a gear tooth is one of the things on the outside of the gear that sticks out. This gear has 18 teeth.
