Check your clutch fluid level or your automatic transmission fluid level.

Rolls freely in neutral? Bad transmission?


2000 Dodge Grand Caravan won't up-shift?

Have the transmission computer checked for codes. It will lock into 2nd gear when a malfunction is detected.


Why 2005 Dodge Magnum started this morning and when you place in gear automatic transmission it died Started right back up but when you place in gear it dies.?

The first thing you have to check is your base/curb idle. It should be between 600 and 700 rpm in nuetral. If less than 550 rpm, may be too low to sustain idle speed in gear. Computer diagnostic may be required to determine if idle circut problem exists. If no idle circut problem exists, check for transmission torque converter lock-up problem. If converter in full lock-up engine stall will occur when put into gear. Transmission diagnostic will be required to determine this problem.


Why would engine die when you put car in gear?

Idling too low or a bad lock-up torque converter solenoid.


Why 1984 s10 blazer automatic transmission will not shift into fourth gear?

That would be a problem with the solenoid for the lock up converter. Start with checking the fuses. If the fuses check okay the lock up solenoid or wiring circuit is probably bad. That solenoid is located inside the transmission and can be reached by dropping the trans pan.


Will a Chevy 84 truck transmission interchange with a 88 Chevy truck?

The 1984 700R4 will interchange with a 1988 700R4. The lock-up harness would have to be modified, changed or have a hydraulic lock-up kit installed. An easy fix would be to put the harness and swithes from the 1988 transmission into the 1984 transmission. The 1984 transmission is a weaker design but a working transmission will get you going.


93 Pontiac transport 38 around 2000 rpm appears to be a shudder from transmission or on gear change and rpm drops to 2000 transmission?

I believe that your shudder problem may be a problem with your lock up torque convertor. When your transmission has shifted into final gear and is no longer under accelleration or deceleration your torque convertor should lock up. If the lock up is not being applied properly of your torque convertor is damaged you may experience a shudder during the lock up transition. You should be able to initiate lock up on and off by accelerating and coasting to see if this is when it occurs. I have put 45000km's on my '94 Transport since it was given to me because of this prob. If you can live with the annoyance it shoudn't damage anything else and you'll save some cash. Good Luck. ==Another Option == Twice I was told by a transmission mechanic that my shuddering was due to bad plug wires. He showed me this by power braking the car and having the engine get "rough" at certain RPMs. Changed the plugs and the wires, voila`, the back ones are a pain in the butt!


Would a broken Torque Converter Solenoid in a 1995 Nissan Maxima cause it to die when put into gear?

There is no such device as a torque convertor solenoid. There is a transmission control module. There can be any of 100 reasons why the car may stall when put into gear but I do not think it is a transmission problem. It sounds like an engine problem. There are torque converter control solenoids, and if stuck in the wrong position they can keep the lock up clutch engaged which can cause the engine to die when at a stop.


Can you put a 1999 ford contour transmission in a 1995?

No, the fly wheel is different and so is the gear ratio and the mounts will not line up.


1995 Lumina after transmission and engine are warmed up transmission will not engage in D After the engine and transmission cool down transmission will operate normally What could be the likey cause?

Does the torque converter lock? It should lock on both 3rd and 4th gear. How are the engine temperature and temp gauge? The 4T60-E requires decent temp information to run normally, othw it goes to "limp mode" and will not engage 4th nor lock. T


Where do you put gear oil in a manual transmission on 1988 d100 truck?

The D100 probably has the 3 speed standard transmission. If so, it doesn't use gear oil in the transmission. It uses Dextron II or III. The fill plug is found on the side of the transmission about half way up.
