92 Legacy sedan has the word Manu lit up on the dash to the right of the word Power just under the gear selection list on the dash What does this mean Even the dealer is stumped?

Does this vehicle have a floor shifter? With a button within easy reach of your thumb while your hand is on the shifter? Or is it a column shift, and is there a button on the end of the shift knob? If it is the floor shift model, I believe this is a light that indicates you have entered into 'manual shift' mode. Which means you can shift your automatic transmission manually from first gear through to third or fourth(overdrive). If you have this button, push it and see if the 'MANU' light goes off. If it does, you will now be operating in automatic mode and can simply put it in DRIVE and go. If you put it in DRIVE while MANU is lit, and the car feels sluggish and underpowered, it is because you are in manual mode and starting out from a stop in third or fourth gear...which would be reason enough to think your car may be lazy. Hope this helps.


When you put your car in reverse it cuts off?

This was a common problem on mid to late 80s' GM cars...The torque converter lock up clutch does not disengage and when you put the gearselector into drive the Torque converter clutch stops the motor. The test for this problem is to put the drive wheels up in the air-put the car in gear and see if the motor kills. If not then the Torque converter clutch is stuck.. The simplest repair is to unplug the Torque converter plug on the outside of the transmission then the Torque converter clutch will usually disengage. If you could tell me what make/model/year and motor that you have i can be more specific. Hope that helps.. Good luck.

Check the transmission fluid first to make sure that its full. If the transmission is high mileage then it might need a filter and fluid change. If the Filter is ok then the transmission might need a rebuild.

If 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee with automatic transmission won't shift from second gear to third gear any suggestions as to why?

In automatic transmissions the second to third syncronizers always seem to go bad first, the syncronizers are worn, bad or gone. This is common in these transmissions. Also you might check your trans fluid level, sometimes a low level will cause the transmission not to shift correctly.


Why want an automatic transmission shift to third gear?

Your transmission's filter may be clogged, you may be low on transmission fluid, or the transmission may need repair or replacement. If the transmission was full of fluid, I would suggest a transmission flush, or replacing the transmission filter and fluid. If this doesn't help the transmission may actually be damaged and may need repair or replacement.
