Chech ALL vacuum hoses. The tranny shifts by monitoring vacuum pressure.
The shift link cable could be broken, or the 1st/2nd shift fork, inside the transmission, could be damaged.
The real problem is manually shifting from gear to gear with an automatic transmission. If you are referring to the automatic upshift, there may be a problem with the EGR system or vacuum system.
When shifting a manual (or standard) transmission on a vehicle, if you hear excessive knocking noises immediately after shifting, you are probably:1) Shifting into the next highest gear too soon, or2) Shifting into the wrong gear - for example, going from 2nd to 4th gear, or3) Not running the engine fast enough after shifting to the next highest gear, or4) Your engine is out of tune if you know you're doing steps 1,2 and 3 correctly
Most difficult shifting manual transmissions are caused by a clutch that either doesn't fully disengage, is warped or a pilot bushing is damaged.
specify "not go into drive" does that mean it stalls or?
no it will not. the 1995 Camry has one speed sensor, the 1992 Camry has two speed sensors. The car will go into limp mode and after 10 minutes of driving the Overdrive light will continue to flash indicating a shifting problem. It will not shift in 1st or 2nd gear. It will stay stuck in 3rd gear (limp mode)
yes it does you don't need to be in 2nd gear anyways in a crown Victoria yes it does you don't need to be in 2nd gear anyways in a crown Victoria yes it does you don't need to be in 2nd gear anyways in a crown Victoria
Inside the transmission. Remove transmission pan and towards the rear of the transmission there are 2 solenoids.The one on drivers side of vehicle is for 1st to second gear shifting. The one on passenger side is for 2nd to 3rd gear shifting.
If your car has a manual transmission, and it over rev's in every other gear as well, than no doubt it is your clutch. Other wise it is your transmission.
A transmission that stumble upon acceleration between 2nd and 3rd gear may need to be flushed. Another possible cause is that the torque converter is locking when shifting between gears.
Not exactly what you were looking for, but my 95 towncar trans went out about 2 years ago...trouble with shifting to 2nd, would rev high in 1st then go straight to 3rd. I had it completely rebuilt and upgraded to using a more reliable sprag gear for 2nd...to the tune of just under $2000. The trans was then better than new, with improved shifting and more power/acceleration.
Because you pushed the tow/haul button on the gear shifter. Push it again and see if that fixes the problem
