You will have to get your car repaired. There is no way to tell exactly what is wrong with your car without actually looking at it.
If you mean simply stopping.....the answer is simple: step on the brakes. If you mean coming to a stop, turning off and leaving the vehicle, the answer is a little more complicated: step on the brakes; come to a stop; put the transmission in park; turn the ignition key off; set the parking brake; leave and lock the car door. Bye!!
transmission failed i think... call your local mower shop.
if you know nothing about brakes then that is realy best left up to a certified tech. if you dont have the money for that i would suggest getting a haynes manual from autozone and follow it step by step.
1st step would be to change the transmission fluid and filter (if so equipped). may save you the cost of a rebuild.
It is impossible to 'convert' an automatic transmission into a manual transmission. You car replace the automatic with a manual, which also requires installing a clutch pedal, clutch cable, or clutch master and slave cylinders, as well as a shifter and shift linkages. Check at local junkyards for a car about the same year, make, and model as the one that you have which has a manual transmission, remove, or have removed, this transmission, including the clutch and bell housing, and install these in your car.
First Identify what transmission you have and get a rebuild kit for that transmission. Second purchase a Rebuild manual for that transmission, should cost about $30.00 Last and most important take your time and follow the instructions from the manual step by step DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING
Depending on what shape or how old the shift console is, it can eventually affect it yes. If it has an automatic transmission, why not just brake and at most just put the shift in neutral? That's a lot easier on the transmission than trying to use the 3,2, or 1 setting that's virtually never used. Well, i dont know for 100% sure... but my friend had a newer Ford Probe GT and he used the auto as a stick shift and his transmission went out at 50,000 miles.. the shop told him it was for that reason.. Its an automatic transmission not a manual. why would you want to put increased wear on it when you could just step on your brakes. Its a whole lot cheaper to replace a set of brake pads then a transmission. yes, it will make the transmission wear out, and start going out, after awhile youll notice more of a kick when the car shifts, and when the car heats up it wont want to go it will just rev up, same thing happend to me because i was stupid with the car
You step on the brakes.
brakes, or no sun
If you want to do it yourself, go to this site. It has step by step information on how to change your transmission fluid if you have an automatic transmission without a dipstick. http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=11&i=88582&t=88570#88582 If you are not comfortable with changing your fluid yourself, go to a dealership
Answeryou must step on the brake pedaland if that fails.there is an emerg. release on the left side of shift console.lift lid. slide bar, shift.
Assuming the car's engine is on and running, it's an automatic transmission, and you're on flat terrain, about 2-5 mph.
