Driving a 2007 Suzuki Forenza with a bad transmission range sensor can be risky, as this component affects the vehicle's ability to determine the correct gear. If the sensor is malfunctioning, the car may experience issues such as erratic shifting or may not shift at all, potentially leading to further transmission damage. It's advisable to limit driving and seek repairs as soon as possible to avoid more serious issues. Depending on the severity of the malfunction, you could experience problems almost immediately or after a short period of driving.
Your transmission sensor might be broken
To remove the transmission from a 2004 Suzuki Forenza, start by disconnecting the battery and draining the transmission fluid. Next, remove the drive axles, exhaust components, and any electrical connections linked to the transmission. Support the transmission with a jack, then unbolt it from the engine and the transmission mount. Finally, carefully slide the transmission out of the engine bay.
No, it's a Front Wheel Drive (FWD).
If your Suzuki Forenza is not engaging into drive, it could be due to several issues. Common causes include low transmission fluid levels, a malfunctioning transmission shift cable, or internal transmission problems. Additionally, issues with the clutch system (in manual transmissions) or a faulty torque converter (in automatics) could also prevent engagement. It's advisable to have a professional mechanic diagnose the issue for proper resolution.
Should drive flywheel or flexplate, under pass side front of car. Follow pos batt cable to end it will be on there
Its the gear that connects the speed sensor shaft to the transmission
You need to replace the speed sensor. The speed sensor is mounted in the transmission. It is held in place by one bolt and is very easy to replace. You simply unbolt it, remove it, and reverse the procedure to replace it. The sensor has a wiring connector on it. The sensor should be on the transmission around the area that the drive shaft exits the transmission. It is driven by gears cut into the portion of the drive shaft that is inside the transmission casing. It is on the top of the transmission, above the area that the drive shaft (not sure if it is the left or right drive shaft) exits the transmission.
Transmission Prssure Switch/Sensor -
The sensor is on the transmission above the right drive axle two wires to it
Car has to be level on Jacks, and you will need a 8mm square drive to remove the plug. Where the right side axle goes out to the wheel from the transmission you will see a plug that the 8mm square drive will fit. Turn out the plug and fluid should just run out if its full. If none come out put your pinkie finger in the hole and you should get some fluid on your finger, if there is none you need to add fluid through that hole. You will need a suction gun to push fluid into the transmission.
There is no differential. The transmission is both a transmission and front wheel drive trans axle. It is all in one.
The transmission temperature sensor is part of the overdrive solenoid, inside the transmission, on the valve body.
