It could be that your transmission is going out. I have replaced the transmission on a car very similar to this one for the exact same issue. To repair the transmission, it will cost over $1000. To replace with a used transmission it costs about $300 for the parts, but you may run into a similar issue in a few months. As a last effort, before repair or replacement, you might try using an additive from your local parts store. This usually doesn't work though. Good Luck.
First check the linkage for the 2000 Dodge Neon transmission to make sure that it is fully going into reverse. If it is, then the transmission needs to be taken out and pulled apart to see what internal parts have failed, and how to fix it.
If you had the valve body apart you need to check to make sure it is assembled properly. You also need to check the pump and input shaft seals.
Reverse is usually the first to go, followed by first gear. Time for a transmission rebuild.
i have two answers Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive 2, 1.when the paddle is in the D or drive gear there is 3 gears plus over drive total of 4 driving forward gears. like 90% of all other cars out there.
Of course it will you idiot. Think about it... while the car is going forward you slap it into reverse and the gears need to stop turning the other way BEFORE the can turn the other way around or it will grind all the gears and then you have just ruined your transmission
because the reverse gears are designed differently. Because you don't use reverse as much as the other gears it's make cheaper, so it ends up making a whine while you back up. hope this helped
Dragging clutch, clutch is oil soaked, hydraulic release system is faulty.
Hi, did you ever find out why your A140 reverse light always stay on even in other gears, I have the same issue, i have checked the bulbs, replaced the reverse light switch and still have them always on..
The grrr noise you hear should be more like a whiring, this is because the reverse gear is a straight cut gear, while all the other gears are helical ( 1st ,2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th) when two straight cut gears meet there is more noise present due to the way the gears connect, as the reverse gear uses several small gears to change a clockwise motion into a anti-clockwise motion.
Sounds like a problem with the idler gear in between the reverse gear and the layshaft.
It depends on the make and model. Some have a toe shifter like a motorcycle that is operated with the left foot. Other models have buttons on the handle bar that shifts gears electrically. Still other, newer ones are shiftless. You put it in high, low or reverse, and no shifting is required.
yes, The dodge daytona carries the same engine, but you may have to swap out your A/C compressor bracket. I had a 92 dodge spirit and switched engines with a dodge daytona but i had to change the bracket so I could use my same a/c compressor that was still in a sealed system. worked fine.
