Did you use the right Transmission Fluid or did you forget to maintain your transmission otherwise, your gears are broken and needed to be replaced.. chances are you need a new transmission.

What is the difference between manual transmission automatic transmission and Continuously Variable Transmission?

As I understand it: Manual: There are a set # of gears (usually 4-6) and you switch between them as required. Automatic: Again a set # of gears (usually 3-5), the transmission switches them automatically, based on current speed and other variables CVT: Instead of having a set # of gears, there is a belt (or chain?) between the only 2 "gears" that exist. Difference being that 1 of those "gears" changes it's circumfrence, giving it an unlimited # of gear ratios. The transmission determines what the appropriate gear ratio should be, based on speed, how hard you press the pedal, load, etc. Hope this helps.

Not hard if you are mechanically inclined. Having a donor vehicle that is the same as your truck but automatic is key. This would give you all the parts, nuts, bolts, brackets, linkage, etc to do the swap.


Why is your shifter hard to move in your 2000 Chevy cavalier z24?

If you are sitting on any kind of slope, your transmission has tension on it, making it hard to change gears. Pull your car onto a level place then try it should be easier. If not then your transmission is messed up.
