check all vacuum hoses under hood, replace any old or broken ones, you may have a vacuum leak. This may lead to engine not being able to hold idle when in gear.
The 1997 Ford Thunderbird has a four bolt rear and. The rear and gear ratio is 3.23. The rear axle has a weight rating of 1600 pounds.
behind the timing cover, timing chains, ans remove the bottom timing gear and there she is
1 A bent shifting fork from shifting hard 2 a worn bearing inside the transmission high miles or ran low of lube 3 a worn gear 4 hopefully an adjustment on the shifter
First the gear could be out. The other issue could be with the linkage itself in the transmission thus it won't go into overdrive.
it is suppose to release automatically as soon as you put it in gear. if not look above the pedal there is a small rod that you can push forward. good luck.
The overdrive is designed for speeds after 50 mph so your overdrive should not be engaged until you are driving on the highway. The overdrive gear is designed for fuel efficiency and does nothing in town.
As long as this is an automatic car (manuals are very very rare) put it in D for drive and ignore it. If it has an OD for overdrive that is good as well.
Worn out gear. You need a mechanic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because its a Chevy corsica not a ford corsica!!!!!
It depends if your wearing the proper gear. Wearing helmets, pads, etc. Decreases your chance greatly of getting any kind of injury. But anyway, with the proper protective gear the odds of dying would be about 1 out of 5000 without proper gear it's about 1 out of 3000.
Sounds like your transmission is low in fluid.
one year if you have the gear to do cope with your situation.But you would need alot of oxygen.
