What is Skin effect in transmission lines?

when a conductor is carrying a steady DC current,it is uniformly distributed over the whole cross section of the conductor. however, an alternating current flowing through the conductor does not distribute uniformly . Rather it has a tendency to concentrate near the surface of the conductor. This is known as skin effect

When cold transmission slips when shifting in second gear?

When the cold transmission slips when shifting in the second gear, it means that either the fluid level is not correct or the filters are faulty. When this happens, your gearbox may need extensive repair or may need replacement.

Why is your transmission slipping on hilly terrain?

The transmission will slip when the clutch pack material has worn away significantly, or if the load on the transmission is greater than it was designed for.

Is the 2.4l dohc 16v engine in a 2004 srt-4 the same engine as a 2004 dodge stratus sedan with a 2.4l dohc 16v?

no the stratus rt is a 3.0 v6

the srt-4 was only in the neon The srt4 engine is very similar to the regular 2.4L. There are some internal differences though. The only difference is the srt-4 components in the motor which can be bought as a rebuild kit if you are yanking a 2.4 from the stratus to drop it in something else, like a neon.

How do you repair a 93 Lincoln Town Car that will not go into gear?

First, does the ignition key operate properly? Does the steering wheel move freely? These cars are designed to lock the steering wheel and shift lever when the key is not in the "run" position. (the one before the "start" position) This car may also have a shift lockout that blocks the shift lever unless the brake pedal is depressed. If that all seems ok, check the shift linkage from the bottom of the steering column to the transmission. It may be a rod or a cable. See if moving the shift lever also moves the transmission shifting arm. If everything checks out ok, you probably have an internal problem. Has the car been shifted into park while it was moving? That can jam the transmission lock called the "parking prawl" and will probably require tranny repair.

Try this: Put the car into neutral, THEN start it. It should shift normally--and if it does, you have an interlink issue that is caused by the break pedal needing to be depressed when you start in Park. That switch can fail and keep you from being able to move the lever into gear.

How do you remove engine from transmission 2001 chey s-10 4.3?

Well, I'm assuming you got the motor and trans out in one piece. If doing this in the vehicle be prepared to cuss, a lot. Simply take the nuts off the studs around the bellhousing, there should be something like 9 of them but it's been awhile since I've had a 4L60E out. Unbolt the 3 bolts from the torque converter (you have to take the cover off the bottom of the bellhousing to access them, and you'll need a prybar to hold the flywheel in one place unless the motor is locked up). If you don't take these 3 bolts out, no big deal except when the torque converter pulls off the imput shaft you will spill fluid everywhere. Disconnect any wiring harnesses, and don't forget about the dipstick. Now, was that really that hard?

Why has your transmission quit working with no forward or reverse while engine still runs?

Answer

You mean you forward and reverse while the engine is shut off????? How can that be?

Funny man that guy. Have you checked your fluid level? Also checked to see if your trans oil looks or smells like it has been burnt. Hopefully your only low on trans fluid, otherwise you will need to take it in for repairs.

What does Automatic Transmission mean?

It means that you do not have stick shift in your car, your car shifts gears for you, you don't have to do it, so basically if you don't have a stick shift car you have an automatic transmission car.

What other transmission is recommended for a Taurus 1991 V6 3.0?

1991 had its own pecular transmission. I know this because I personally tried to find one. The electronic controls are different for that year from any other. It has to be one for a 1991.

How much do automatic cost?

For a quick and dirty estimate of where you might expect bids from professional sprinkler contractors to come in, use a range of $0.50 to $1.25 per square foot of area to be watered. Small properties and properties with complicated layouts will tend to be at the higher end of that range. Where you live and what type of equipment you select will also impact the range of bids.

If you are installing the system yourself, you should be able to buy equivalent materials at a home improvement store for about 15-20% more than a contractor will pay at a contractor supply store; however, you will need to factor in rental of trenchers and whether you can install the backflow prevention device, so you should figure your total cost of installing an equivalent system yourself will be 40-50% of a professional sprinkler contractor bid.

For more specific information you can search for "Sprinkler System Designer" on the internet and find applications that will let you put in the parameters of your yard and will output a parts list with prices.

Why wont your automatic transmission shift into third gear?

Depending on the vehicle, lets say you own a Chrysler, the electronic transmission has a mode referred to as "limp in" mode. Your vehicle will run only in second, or maybe third gear(transmission). In most cases, if there is something mechanically wrong with your tranny, you will hear it or feel it, or have total failure.

In the case of an electronic problem, the check engine light accompanied by the inability to shift through the gears could be due to a faulty governer pressure sensor and or solenoid. Occasionally with Chrysler electronic trannys, the solenoid gets frozen and will not engage with the correct force. Fault code will indicate Governer pressure sensor voltage too low, etc. This can be remedied easily by purchasing the parts over the internet and dropping the transmission pan, removing the valve body, and replacing the two parts.

You tried to do a burnout by going in reverse then to neutral revving the car up then throwing it into drive now the car won't move what is wrong?

I hope you have money because the transmission is gone! And they are not cheap. I recommend a rebuilt transmission. Expect to pay about 1000 to 2000 dollars for the repair job.

2002 Tahoe 40000 mi won't go in reverse?

Also have '02 Tahoe Shift ProblemI'm having the same problem with my 2002 Tahoe, 39,500 miles. Also, problems with transfer case for 4WD, and sometimes won't go into Drive.

Did you find out what the problem was? Any chance that is was covered under warranty?

The problem is most likely the "sunshell" inside the transmission. This is a common failure in the 4l60 transmission. In order to repair it you will need to find a good transmission repair technician. If you are going to go that far into the transmission, you should consider a complete overhaul. There is an improved sunshell available called "The Beast". It is an aftermarket part which is comparably priced to the OEM part, but it is much stroger than the factory part. It is made of stainless steel as opposed to the factory stamped steel part, and is much thicker and heavier duty than the factory part. I replaced mine last year and have worked my trans. very hard ever since. No problems.

How much does it cost to have a transmission installed in a 1995 Grand Prix?

It varies with what area of the country you live in. Call a couple of local garages for estimates.

I had mine done in x-mas of 2004 it cost $1800 OUCH dollars. I live in central Nebraska. I got a 1 year warranty with it. It is a 1996 auto trans with overdrive. I feel I could have done it cheaper if I had bought one on eBay NEW with warranty and just paid to get it installed. but I heard about shipping problems and core problems so I went local just in case some thing went wrong which it did twice. First the car cameout not driving straight. they had to adjust the engine cradle to put it back where it was or they have to get a front end alignment and guess who would pay for that? . second I lost drive some six months later. the original problem was I lost my overdrive. so back to the shop it went under warrenty. I have been going good since. KNOCK ON WOOD! If you are in large city I would think you should be able to get it done for $800-1500 to rebuild yours with converter Installed. Hope you have better luck than I did. $1800 on a $1200 quote still hurts and they never kissed me.
