If it were my car i would replace the transmission. A website www.car-part.com gives you a list of used parts all over the country. If you are a do-it-yourself-er it is the cheapest way to go.

or

check for cel [check engine light] or for dtcs [diagnostic trouble codes]

if none are present repair or over haul maybe required torque converter is bad.

Why does a suzuki quadrunner make a loud winding noise when revved up?

Why does your car starts but when you give it gas it doesn't move even when you rev the engine?

If you put the vehicle in gear but it doesn't engage, you probably have a problem with the transmission. Check the transmission fluid level first, but don't try to drive it if it won't engage. If it's just low on fluid you might be ok, otherwise, see a transmission shop. It could also be a disconnected CV joint. To determine whether it is the transmission or CV joint, there are two simple tests. The first is to shift the vehicle into Drive and watch the speedometer while you push down on the accelerator. If the speedometer moves, then the problem is the CV joint, not the transmission. The second test is to put the car in Neutral and push the car. If the car rolls, then put the car in Park and push again. If the car rolls forward, then the problem is the transmission. If it does not move forward, then it is the CV Joint.


What is a Universal joint or U-joint used for in vehicles?

Universal/U-joints are used to transfer power/torque from and engine to the drive-shafts and rear differentials. The U-joints allow the driveshaft and suspension to move thru it's normal range of motion, while still being able to transfer the power from the engine/transmission.

What would cause a Nissan Altima transmission to hesitate when putting it into drive or reverse?

I was told by my mechanic that the transmission hesitating after putting it in drive after reversing is a sign of the transmisison dying. ---------- Check transmission fluid. When the fluid is low there is not enough in the torque converter, so when you go to reverse or drive you have to rev the engine before it moves to compensate for less fluid in the torque converter.

Why is your 2004 F250 lariet diesel automatic transmission stuck in drive worked perfect before i parked it?

If the gear shift lever does not move out of drive, or if the lever moves but the transmission stays in drive, it is possibly the linkage and a relatively easy fix. Turn everything off, then look under the hood along the steering column or under the vehicle for something that is hanging loose or moves when the shift lever moves.
