Engine starts, goes in first, shudders and then won't go into gear.
Is this an auto or stick shifted car, ??? we can not guess this, ever.
you said, Gear, that is stick shift and A/T has no gears.
it has, R, D, 1,2,.. selections... are all 4 dead.?
shudders?
starts,
is RPM 800 or more?
you then shift to say reverse...
and step on the throttle , RPM is 800 and it advances to 1500 or more
and car moves,
does RPM go above 3000 and not move
that means , the tranny (or TCM or sensors) are bad.
if your RPM goes to 2000 and is stuck there, and car will not
move in any shifted rage, 1,2,D,L, then the brakes are iced over.
the key to this mystery is RPM. the engine RPM will tell you
what is happening,
for sure.
post it. and we can tell you.
slipping is when the tranny allows RPM to be unlimited at right foot actions.
if the brakes are frozen the RPM will be at the TC clutch stall speed
that is , about 2000rpm max and will shake there. (5sec max doing that)
see the FSM on stall speed, of your A/T
if this is a clutch car, say so, M/T stick car, say so, that be DIFFERENT/
Testimonial: "this is automatic. Engine runs fine, brakes are not frozen and they work well. Car moves in 1st but not fast. Seems like not fully engaged in gear. Then over 10 mph or so, when shifting to 2nd it shudders and wont engage."
check levels?, fuses? yet, scan it yet? but what is ENGINE RPM at 10mph, 1500 or 4000 ? what? a machanic drives car, sees RPM low, and speed low with agressive right foot, this is lost ENGINE power, but on the other hand he drives, and speed is low, and RPM screams high this is called TRANNY slip or FLARE, this is the 1s check, as you can see im blind, i can see your tachmeter or hear the engine scream, you must tell me...... the transmissions job is to move torque from the engine to the wheels, if the engine screams, and car dont go? that IS tranny slip (or rare clutch) your right foot conrols engine RPM and power, if the engine races fast , its not the engine, if going slow, see why? ,
state engine RPM at 10mph, with right foot planted. is reverse bad too? move the right foot to the floorboards, and limit max RPM to under 4000. , if it feels , sounds and looks(RPM) disconnected it IS.
check all levels
check fuses
check fuses
IN USA? we connect the scan tool ($9) and scan it , for TCM errors. tranny errors, P07xx errors.... post them.
if the TCM is happy , is it., then the trans is out of ATF or bad.
im related what is in the FSM , it all there and all true. we next do the stall test, in the book, yours will fail. (post the RPM of your stall test) then if it fails that we then.....
the, we do the pump pressure test, note the order here, easy to harder, that is the way with slushpump trannies,
last? ever do a 50,000 full service,. on this tranny this decade, , no, then all this will happen. or more.
level check means , open oper. guide, see A/T level check and the very unique A/T way of doing so,, it not like checking eng or a lawn mower, read the words and do it right. most dont and that is why they remove the dip sticks on cars, owners not reading the correct steps.
