Is there a shift sensor on a 1989 Honda Prelude automatic to control when it shifts?
Sort of - depending on model .What motivated you to ask the question ? are you having delayed up-shift points in relation to speed ? or no kickdown from Top Gear ? etc .Does your trans(looking to rear) front center lower on bellhousing, just inside engine bay behind radiator , have a series of 4 solenoids stacked vertically ? (don't worry) this just helps identify the trans during a year model trans type cross-over ,depending on which market.Main influence is a correctly adjusted throttle to trans cable (for example on earlier series 2 prelude/accords '84- mid '87 cable adjusted one way will give "short-shifts" at lower revs up into the next gear,into top(4th) aiding economy, adjusted another way will delay part throttle upshifts at any given rev point in relation to road speed - giving a more sporty 'hold onto a lower gear' shift pattern,at full throttle from standing start.
Maladjusted can cause problems , is fixable,but, model depending , may not be only cause of 'non-standard' shifting (slipping/soft "flaring" shifts/worn trans aside) hope this helps.Don't fiddle with anything you don't understand your fiddling with.
There again,much to trans shop/dealer chargrin,don't accept a "full trans rebuild" when adjustment,broken vacuum hose etc or honest shop/learned mechanic ('ask Smokey') check would fix.Goodluck(if this was a genuine question) - that will be $200 inspection fee please :-P
What else can I help you with?
What would cause your 89 prelude automatic tranny to vibrate 50-55 mph between shifts up hill?
gears are slipping or not enuff fluid in transmission
What are some of the reasons a 1991 Toyota Tercel automatic won't shift into overdrive?
My friends car did the same exact thing. It could be your transmission sensor. I am not exactly sure what the sensor is called but it has to do with the way it shifts. Overdrive sensor maybe?
What would cause a speed sensor problem on a Jap 1994 Trooper automatic Speedo intermittently drops to zero gear shifts out of overdrive Sensor has been replaced made no difference?
Sensor to replace is at tail end of automatic transmission. This is called the speed sensor. It may be plug in or have a long tail on the wiring. Check which one you have. easy replacement.
1996 Honda Accord LX malfunction with input turbine speed sensor Car drives fine but shifts alittle harder jerks changing gears its an automatic replace sensor or trannyTroubleshoot?
HiMy name is Kyaw and i had an accident in Chetowakka.
Does the speed sensor control shifts in an automatic transmission?
to my knowledge the speed sensor is just for reading the speed of the vehicle alone...bands and fluid are primary reasons for a transmission to not shift properly. if the fluid is old and worn down or there is not enough fluid in the transmission it will not shift properly and if the bands are worn from high mileage or any other reason it could mean needing a rebuild to replace them.
Is there an automatic 3 wheeler transmission that shifts automatically?
yes there is
Can the O2 sensor afftect your TCU and how the transmission shifts?
no
What does it mean when a automatic vehicle shifts hard at times?
time for rebuild of the tran.
Does a malfunctioning ambient sensor affect the transmission when it shifts?
Yes, a malfunctioning ambient sensor can affect the transmission during shifts. The ambient sensor provides crucial information about environmental conditions, which can influence engine performance and transmission behavior. If the sensor fails, it may lead to incorrect data being sent to the engine control unit (ECU), potentially causing rough shifting or delays in transmission response. This can ultimately result in degraded vehicle performance and drivability issues.
What automatically shifts gears in an automatic transmission?
In a true automatic the gears are applied and released by hydraulic pressure, usually in a special oil. The control system is either an analog hydraulic computer (called a valve body) or on newer cars and trucks an electronic computer that controls the hydraulics.
Are 2001 Chevy cavaliers automatic or stick shifts?
The Chevy Cavalier vehicle can be either an automatic or a stick shift. You can switch an automatic over to a stick shift by switching out the transmission.Ê
Is there any difference between a manual and automatic engine?
there isn't a difference cause theres no such thing as a automatic or manual engine. there is such thing as a manual transmission aka trans. and a automatic trans. the automatic shifts by hydrolic pressure that increases when acclurating. and a manual trans the person driving the vehical shifts the gears with a lever. i hope that's what you wanted to know.
