What causes shifter to pop out of gear on 1990 Toyota 4runner?

If you have a manual transmission, it may need a new plastic bushing at the bottom of the shifter. My 1991 Toyota pickup kept slipping out of gear due to a deteriorated plastic bushing. I picked up a new bushing at the local Toyota parts department for around $11.


How much does it cost for each bushing?

Around 150.00 $


Why does your 1993 mark viii lunge at times?

Common problem with pre-96 m8's. Transmission range control may be bad, causing the car to go into neutral and back. Part costs around $50 and not too hard to replace.


How do you get a car in neutral without the keys?

If manual transmission, depress the clutch and move the shift lever into neutral. If automatic transmission, you will need the keys to unlock the shifter mechanism. There is no other way around it. As a side note, you will not be able to removed the key in neutral either as it must be in Park. Either way, with the auto trans, one is hosed.


How to tow a Chevy Equinox?

With the drive wheels off of the ground. Automatic transmissions depend on a pump to keep the internal transmission parts lubricated. If you tow ANY vehicle with an automatic transmission with the wheels on the ground (even in neutral) you will most likely burn the transmission up. The ONLY way around this is to let the car idle in neutral while being towed, or if it is RWD, disconnect the driveshaft. If the car has a manual transmission, you can simply tow it in neutral even with the wheels on the ground.


How much for a transmission repair?

A good used transmission with 60K is around 1400, a brand new transmission with a 12 month or 12K miles is 1600. Dont pull a Kia Sorento behind a truck with the driveshaft still on or the vehicle not running. Just putting it in neutral will not work.


What could be the problem with a 1999 Tahoe that jumps when accelerating with an automatic transmission and what is the cost for fixiing this problem?

I had mine rebuilt for around $1,700 using non OEM parts.


You cannot select the right gears on your '88 jetta The gear stick is very loose but does go into gears but the wrong ones What is wrong Is it the shift linkage and can it be fixed. Is this expensive?

I had the same problem in my '90 jetta. There is a small white plastic piece shaped like a dog bone that connects the gearbox and transmission and allows them to shift in unison. This piece of plastic is very brittle and breaks quite often. It can be bought from a VW dealership for about 2 dollars, and it snaps onto the top of two ball joints after you remove the broken one. You may want to check the rubber bushing that the main shiftrod runs through that tends to get worn out and makes the shifter slop around and go in the wrong gears. you can do this by jacking the front of the car up and putting jack stands underneath to make sure its properly secured so the car does not fall now slide underneath right before the firewall you will see the main shiftrod running through the bushing and housing try and move the shift rod around if the shift rod slops around inside of the bushing or the bushing is missing replace it. the bushing is orange just so it would make it easy to spot.


What is Kia fault code p1529?

Could be a few different things- the transmission control module power or ground system, transmission range switch, wire harness problem or tcm logic problem. If it is the module it is somewere around 400 to replace. Good luck


You have a automatic transmission The transmission will not engage Every gear it revs like it is in neutral you have no metal in the transmission pan and the filter looks clean Any suggestions?

Check your transmission fluid level and if you are running a carbureted vehicle check all the hoses connecting to or around the carburetor. Those hoses hold a vacuum that signals the transmission when to shift. If that doesn't work then... Sounds like a pump or vale body failure in transmission


Why wont my 2006 Chrysler 300C hemi shift out of park?

Chances are your, or the previous owner, or someone who has driven your vehicle, did enough neutral drops that the transmission is not wanting to grab any of the gears. Have the transmission looked at at a local shop and see what the deal is. You'll probably end up paying around $3000 for a new transmission.


Why does a 95 Mazda Millenia shut off when put in gear?

Perhaps the transmission/torque converter is engaged and preventing the motor from spinning. B Clear.AnswerI had same problem, It was the ignition module. car ran fine in neutral,as soon as i put car in gear it would stall. AnswerI would check the neutral safety switch on the top of the transmission. It costs around 100 dollars so be sure that's what it is before buying one. I would try to get a used one if possible. The switch doesn't allow the car to crank in gear. If the switch is bad it could work in reverse......ITS A LONG SHOT.....BUT COULD BE A PART OF THE PROBLEM..... John ReidHattiesburg MississippiAnswerI am having the same intermittent problem. My mechanic cleaned and lubricated the idle motor to prevent it from sticking. So far, this seems to have corrected the problem.
