If he replaced the trans with a differant trans, there is a speed sensor on the extention housing. If that is the plug that does not fit then you will have to buy a new speed sensor ,it will fit. If this is a four speed trans (604) overdrive trans then the other possability will be an input speed sensor. Make sure that the trans is from a 1991 thru 1995. And from the same size eng
Find a different mechanic, correct plugs? Speedometer disconected at tranmission? Drain plug, filter not tight, gasket at oil pump?
this recently happened to my 2005 Monte Carol. The MECHANIC had to readjust BEHIND the dashboard. It seems all 3 gauges are connected.
Recently my replacement transmission was $2300. Recently my replacement transmission was $2300.
I would suspect the speed sensor has gone bad.
we recently replaced our transmission on a 2002 explorer for $2400
I'm not an expert on this subject, but I had a mechanic recently tell me that your transmission fluid should be flushed every 30,000 miles. Good transmission fluid should be a semi-transparent pinkish color. If you notice that it is discolored, dark, or has dark particles in it it probably needs to be flushed. You can always add fluid if there is room but this will only temporarily fix the problem since your transmission cycles the fluid and reuses it. Hope this helps! Chris
I am a mechanic and have recently found lawnmower oil works quite well in Ford Lasers.
I have a 1990 Ford Ranger XLT 5 speed 4x4 2.9L standard transmission. I recently had this question and this is what my manual says: For 1988 and on Mitsubishi transmission use SAE 80W transmission fluid For 1988 and on Mazda transmission use Mercon automatic transmission fluid For the transfer case '88 and on, it uses the Mercon automatic transmission fluid. The differentials use a "high grade lubricant" that is a different fluid than the transmission uses. I used Haynes. Look on page 1-2 for a list of all the lubricants and fluids and Chapter 7 for more information about the different transmissions.
I have just recently got my transmission repaired along with the gear ratios recalibrated for $900
4 bottles (quarts) of fluid. I have a 1999 XLS, & I recently changed transmission fluid. Transmission was drained with removing coolent connection etc. (complete removal). I Dexron VI can be used, instead of the original Dexron III (original fluid - again Dexron III was a cutting edge when 98 Avalon was released!). Dexron VI has many advanges over Dexron III. Consult a knowledgeable mechanic, & use the proper Dexron VI for your vehicle.
I have acquired an Isuzu Rodeo 2000 4x2 model with a v6 3.2L and it only had 50,000 miles! The day after I got it the Automatic transmission died on me. i had it rebuilt and it only lasted 2 months! My mechanic suggested I go on line and find a new/used one...but have recently read on-line that the best bet is to rebuild and dump it! Is that a real suggestion...I love the car and the ride...need help? Suggestions please
Sounds like a loose tappet in the header, though I'm just a back yard mechanic.
