The th350 tranny was not stock to the car, rather it was a 700r4. Either a new kickdown cable is needed for the conversion or adjustments made to the existing cable.
Clean the carbeurator and lube the throttle cable.
Push down the red R button, hold in the left brake and shift down beyond neutral gear. At least hat's how its done on a 2004 anyway.
This switch changes the behaviour of the automatic transmission; in the Power position, the transmission will shift up and down at higher engine speeds. In the comfort position, the upshift points will be limited, i.e. at Wide Open Throttle the shifts will not be at maximum engine RPM as they will be in Power position. The easiest way to demonstrate this is to drive on a highway at approximately 45MPH (70KPH) and force a kickdown (press the gas pedal to the floor). In Comfort mode, the transmission will shift down into third gear from fourth; in Power mode it will shift down into second gear. The difference is very noticeable. From 1991 onwards, the switch connection at the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) was hardwired in Power mode - no switch.
Her name is Vane Millon, she was also in when the sun goes down and shift work
Hold down red button with R on left hand brake, pull the bake all the way back and down shift then release brake an button
let off the throttle, clutch in, press up or down on the shift lever depending on whether you want to shift up or down, let the clutch out slowly and begin giving it gas again
kick down cable to down shift tranny on your throttle linkage may be broken somewhere down the line if not then try changing tranny fluid and filter if filter is dirty they don't like down shifting at all .................if it backfires right after you try to get it to down shift then its just getting too much gas and isn't in the rpm range to take that much fuel
Shut the throttle. Pull in your clutch. Kick the gear lever down. Let out the clutch. More advanced: Shut the throttle. Pull in your clutch. Kick the gear lever down. Blip the throttle - let out the clutch.
It is a 6-speed tranny. 1 down, 5 up
top of tranny below throttle body one plug in and a 10mm bolt holding it down
Auto or stick shift? If its a stick - there is a dip stick, look for the master cylinder, then look down. It's located really far down - rght on the back of the tranny.
drop the tranny pan and its right there. unlpug in and get a new one and plug it in. you should also change the govenor pressure sensor while your in there... and the tranny filter! hardest part is gettin the pan down without drinking the tranny fluid.
That happen to my 4runner you need to rebuild the tranny or buy a new one cost me $1800. sorry
ce faci? sunt andrei
There is a small plug in the console forward of the shifter. Pop that out and insert a thin screw driver, you'll feel a springy resistance. Push it down and see if you can move the shifter. If the shifter will still not move, with the car on level ground, the parking brake full on, and the wheels blocked remove the shift cable from the tranny and see if you can shift the tranny with the lever. If you can, your cable is frozen. If you can't, you're looking at tranny repair.
My grandson says, "because it broke down". But to be more specific, check the shift-down linkage and/or the vacuum modulator (if your transmission has one).
the tranny is probably going out, but try a fluid and screen change. keep in mind if the tranny is going out, i have seen a fluid and screen change stop them from shifting altogether
