Why Would 98 mercury sable kick when going uphill you think it might be transmission related please let you know what to do next?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "kick." If you mean that the transmission "kicks DOWN" into the next lower gear, then this action is PROBABLY normal. The purpose of the shift to a lower gear is to prevent "lugging" the engine down which reduces the power to the wheels, severely degrades performance and throttle response, and if done all the time, can damage the engine. The criteria for the downshift involve engine rpm versus the ground speed of the vehicle, and sometimes engine vacuum is used to determine the engine loading. Based on the lack of information in your question, it is hard to say whether your downshifting is normal whether it is excessive. I suggest that if you think it is excessive you do the following. First, have several friends, who have or are used to driving vehicles with automatic transmissions, drive your car over the same roads which cause the problem you have had. They should be able to tell you whether the downshifting is premature or excessive compared to their own vehicles. If they also feel there there is a problem, then have your vehicle checked out by a REPUTABLE transmission shop or the dealer for your vehicle. Also, if your friends do NOT think there is a problem, just to see for yourself, you test drive their vehicles [with permisson of course] over the same course.j3h.

When parking uphill in a car with manual transmission you should park with the transmission in?
When parking uphill in a car with a manual transmission, you should leave the transmission in first gear. This helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. Additionally, it's important to turn the front wheels away from the curb, so if the car does roll, it will roll into the curb rather than into traffic. Always engage the parking brake for added safety.
96 Dodge Ram is slow going uphill?
A 1996 Dodge Ram may struggle uphill due to several factors, including its engine performance, weight, and age-related wear. If the engine is underpowered for the truck's weight or if there are issues like a clogged air filter, worn spark plugs, or low transmission fluid, these can all contribute to sluggishness. Additionally, older vehicles might not have the same power-to-weight ratio as modern trucks, leading to slower uphill performance. Regular maintenance can help improve its uphill driving capability.
When parking uphill in a car with a Manuel transmission what transmission you should park with?
When parking uphill in a car with a manual transmission, you should leave the transmission in first gear. This helps prevent the car from rolling backward. Additionally, it's a good practice to turn the steering wheel towards the curb, so if the vehicle does move, it will roll into the curb rather than into traffic. Always engage the parking brake for extra safety.
What would cause a drop in speed while going uphill if the transmission has slipped before?
A drop in speed while going uphill is normal for most vehicles. If the speed is more than 20 mph slower than when first ascending the hill, there could still be a problem with the transmission or an oxygen sensor.
Why does car lose acceleration uphill?
Automatic transmissions lose acceleration driving uphill because of the torque converter. The engine turns one side of the torque converter and the other side is splined into the input set of the planetary gears. The torque converter uses fluid to turn the input shaft in the transmission. When the transmission is locked into gear and going uphill the torque converter has to work against power losses from the tires on the road and when the engine is working harder the torque converter cuts or "shears" the fluid and it causes the transmission to overheat. Always make sure you have enough fluid in the transmission
How do you repair a 2001 mercury grand marquis that idles very rough only after the first start after sitting a couple of days?
I noticed rough idle on a 2001 MGM and what seemed like transmission slip while going uphill. I replaced the spark plugs. Both problems went away.
When you park a vehicle with manual transmission on a hill you should?
When parking a vehicle with a manual transmission on a hill, you should first engage the handbrake to prevent the car from rolling. Additionally, if facing uphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb; if facing downhill, turn them towards the curb. Finally, shift the transmission into first gear when facing uphill or reverse gear when facing downhill to provide extra security against rolling.
