2001 Dodge Neon

My transmission wasn't shift correctly. I brought it to a mechanic and he fixed a cable that had fallen out. After he fixed that my car was shifting fine, but within 25 min, my car's front end shook a little bit and then stalled 3 times. My oil light came on when no other lights did. There are no leaks. What could it be?

You need to have a shop look at this, it is really hard to say what is wrong, just to big of a guess.

What I did was dissasemble the shiftlinkage unit and pull the pink plastic cam and spring out that broke. this is only a temporary fix though because it means that anyone can get into your car press the brake and roll it away!!!

Here is some possible reasons why your transmission is having those problems .

If it happened right after they changed the radiator, did they add transmission fluid? If they did, check your owners manual, or call a dealership, to find out EXACTLY what kind of fluid you need. It may be on a sticker under your hood also. It probably needs ATF+3 or ATF+4. I don't give a rats *** what anyone else says, use them, and them ONLY. If the shop put in something that is supposed to be compatible, then you need to drain the fluid, refill it, run it a little, in rev and first, like 10 feet each direction. Drain the fluid AGAIN, and refill. My Stratus and others (probably same tranny as yours) needs ATF+3 or +4, they are REALLY picky about this. Anything else will mess it up. I have not used MOPAR brand, I have used off brands, like from Wally World, and they are fine. They just need to be EXACTLY the right fluid. Change the filter if it hasn't been done lately too.

Follow throttle valve cable to linkage above shifter cable and linkage. Probably slightly seized and hanging up, causing it to stay in lower gear too long. Hard to see, might have to remove battery and battery tray to get at it good. It has to move freely, and it will usually seize up unless lubed regularly. Should be able to move it easily back and forth by hand. Spray it good with WD-40 or whatever to loosen it up, then coat with white lithium spray grease as well. P.S. do not remove throttle valve linkage (top one) to clean or lube it, otherwise you'll be pulling tranny apart to fix it.

My 2001 dodge ram 1500 with 3.9 engine shift linkage is loose. How do I adjust it?

To adjust the shift linkage on your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 3.9L engine, follow these steps:
  1. Locate the shift linkage on the transmission. It should be near the top of the transmission and will have a rod or cable connected to it.
  2. Look for the adjustment nut or bolt on the linkage. This is typically a threaded rod or bolt that can be turned to adjust the length of the linkage.
  3. Loosen the lock nut on the adjustment bolt, using a wrench.
  4. Move the shift lever on the transmission to the desired position (such as Neutral or Park).
  5. Adjust the linkage by turning the adjustment bolt or rod until the shift lever on the transmission is aligned with the desired position.
  6. Tighten the lock nut on the adjustment bolt, using a wrench.
  7. Test the shift lever on the transmission by moving it through all the gear positions to ensure that it is properly adjusted and working correctly.
If you are unsure about how to adjust the shift linkage, or if you are having difficulty with the process, it may be best to consult a professional mechanic or refer to your vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions.

My 99 dodge neon will shift into drive but won't

Bad girl, cursing at your favorite Neon! When did you service your transmission last? If the fluid is old and thick it messes up the F***in
pressures in the F***in transmission so it won't F***in shift. Get it checked out (curse the F***in mechanic who charges too F***in too much!)

1997 neon will not shift into gear but the shifter moves what is wrong

Look under the hood drivers side on the top of the transmission you will see two cables, these are the shift cables, the bushings on these usually wear over time and the ends of the cables will fall off, the only option is remove the center console, and replace the cables, or use some zip ties or mechanics wire to tie them on temporary, good luck and please rate, or leave feedback

My 2001 Dodge Caravan's transmission is stuck in reverse.

Things haven't changed much...look on top of the transmission in the engine compartment and look at the shifting linkage. Look for anything that could be interfering with the shifting. One linkage is the cable to the Shift Lever and Rod that goes down into the transmission. Remove the cable adjustment screw.
Move the shift lever rod towards the front of the Van into the Park Indent Position. Place the Driver's Position (Dash) Shift Lever into Park and then reconnect the Cable to the Shift Lever and tighten down the cable adjustment screw to 70 in-lbs.
Check operation's

The speedometer and odometer dont work..can this

Sure, it's probably just a loose or broken speedo cable, it runs from the transmission to the firewall. A mechanic can fix it in minutes.
