WOW sounds like if its a automatic tranny you have a transmission problem. Probably to late to check the tranny fluid. Damage probably already done an you need to replace the transmission
RE: Linkage or cv joint if there was no noticable problems prior to this happening
Call a towing company, a mechanic, and a new friend.
1st, 2nd, drive, overdrive, and lock up ( that's in the torque converter )
when ur driving in the city it is adviced to put gears in drive rather than in overdrive position..the reason being overdrive is a system that allows your gears or drivetrain to use the lowest gears /ratio for fuel saving cruising, with it off , it holds to a higher gear ratio so you have more power and torque to tow or climb hills..but it prooves to be horrible while driving in the city..

Yes, but be wary of dropping it back into 'Drive' while you are still rolling and engine RPM is low. This will not be good for the transmission.
When switching to four-wheel drive, it's essential to come to a complete stop and shift into neutral; this prevents damage to the drivetrain. Engaging four-wheel drive while driving can lead to mechanical issues, particularly if done on dry pavement. Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions, as some newer models may have systems that allow for shifting while in motion under certain conditions.
The gears on an automatic car indicate the transmission's settings that control how the vehicle shifts between different speeds and power levels. Common settings include "P" for park, "R" for reverse, "N" for neutral, and "D" for drive, which allows the car to automatically change gears based on speed and acceleration. Some automatic transmissions also have additional settings like "L" for low gear or sport modes for enhanced performance. Understanding these gears helps drivers optimize the vehicle’s performance and safety while driving.
No, determine what is wrong with the vehicle before driving it. If the throttle is sticking open, you may not be able to stop the vehicle safely.
If you are trying to conserve gasoline. Drining an Automatic: when the car wont start and you need to move it. In an emergancy where you need to shut off the engine while the car is moving. Or when you want to coast. Driving a Standard: Anytime you start, stop, change gears, want to coast/roll...etc
Your gears is stripped and you need a new one or that one rebuilt!!
Gears slipping, such as sudden high RPM's and loss of power while driving. Failing to change gears at a certain RPM in an automatic.
You have to be stopped with the transmission in neutral when you shift in or out of low 4 wheel drive. Park doesn't work as neutral. When you push the rocker switch up for high 4 wheel drive once you will be in high 4 wheel drive, push it again for high 2 wheel drive, you can shift between high 2 and 4 wheel drive while you are driving.
