IF you did not add oil, then you have a leak that is allowing antifreeze to leak into the oil. The oil will look milky. The coolant level will drop. This wont be a cheap repair either.

SOURCE: GEARBOX WONT GO INTO GEAR

hi from uk could you please give a little more info ? what make/model car ? has this problem occured suddenly? has car been layed up off road some time prior to this unable to select gears ? this problem sounds very much like the clutch drive plate is either stuck to flywheel hence question above ? or it is sticking on primary/spigot shaft for some reason and failing to disengage drive to g/box? how does clutch pedal feel ? you might try selecting 2nd gear with clutch fully pressed and h/brake on then try starting engine if engine starts ?runs then put slight revs on and slip clutch a few times this may work if plate is sticking? if you come back with update may be able to advise further

Dear porcelina172 Fri 2-20-2009 8:45pm EST (USA)

This sounds like it may be as simple as cleaning the water or gunk out of the gas tank which is what I always do 1st because it's easy and inexpensive.

If your fuel is contaminated with gunk, grime, water and/or bottom junk like rust this will cause the problems your having!

Fill the tank with High Test, Add some dry gas and a good fuel system cleaner or 2 or 3 and this should dissolve all the gunk and clean the injectors!

Read & follow the cans' instructions carefully.

If this cures the problem never let your gas tank get below 1/4 and especially never run it to empty as this is when the gunk and/or water will enter the system!

Sounds like a fuel/air problem. Replace fuel filter, check/replace air filter and spark plugs, complete the tuneup and see what happens. If it still happens then suspect injectors. Run cleaner through a tank of gas. If still the same take it to a shop that can plug into your vehicle and verify injectors performance.

SOURCE: Truck check engine light flashing on and off,

Flashing is BAD, that means its running/ misfiring enough to damage the catalytic converter. Have it checked by a repair shop ASAP.

SOURCE: I have a 2005 nissan Altima 4 cylinder. My check

OK. I HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE AND HERE IS THE LIST OF FIXES...

THE NO START OR MULTIPLE CRANKS TO GET STARTED IS CAUSED FROM A FAULTY KNOCK SENSOR, $29.00- LOCAL AUTOPARTS STORE- ONE BOLT THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE. -----------LOCATION...OPEN THE HOOD AND LOOK DOWN TOWARDS FRONT OF VEHICLE- LOOK AT WHERE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE MOTOR MEET ROUGHLY 6-10 INCHES TO YOUR RIGHT OF THE MATING POINT YOULL SEE A WIRE THAT CLIPS TO AN ARM THAT EXTENDS OFF THE EXAUST MANIFOLD. CANT MISS IT- THERE WILL BE ONE BOLT HOLDING IT ON AND ITS A SIMPLE PIECE OF BLACK PLASTIC ABOUT AN IN AND A HALF WIDE - THERE WAS A RECALL- ALSO THE ECM NEEDS TO BE UPDATED IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY DONE SO. IT MAY HAVE JUST GOTTEN SOME OIL ON IT (OR AT LEAST THATS WHAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL TELL YOU)

NOW IF YOU WERE CRUISIN DOWN THE HWY AND ALL THE SUDDEN FELT LIKE CAR DOWNSHIFTED OR SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR-- VERY BAD!! I REPLACED TRANSMISSION - ONLINE COST--$200.00 -$125.00 FREIGHT-$80.00 FOR CASE OF MATIC D TRANSMISSION FLUID ONLY AT DEALERSHIP. LITTTLE OVER 100.00 BUCKS MAKE SURE THAT YOU OR SHOP COMPLETELY FLUSHES ENTIRE SYSTEM --ITS BETTER TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON THE EXTRA FLUID THAN BUY AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION 2 TIMES. MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE RIGHT AMOUNT AND PROPER TYPE. IF YOU USE ANY OTHER TYPE THAN MATIC D YOUR CAR WILL VIBRATE WITH A LOAD ON MOTOR. AS FAR AS PLUGS WIRES ETC NO NEED TO CHANGE. VERY COMPLICATED VEHICLE SO TAKE TO SHOP OR BUY THE ALL DATA SUBSCRIPTION HAS ALL INFO ETC. VERY GOOD INVESTMENT. IM NOW AT 140.000 AND SHE COULDNT BE BETTER

Hi there I have a 1976 Chevy C20 pickup and I was wondering could low or to much fluid in the transmission make it hard or impossible to shift while its running it is a munci 4speed sm465

the level of oil in a manual transmission has little bearing in the shift operation of the transmission as all it does is lubricate the working parts
excessive oil will overload the input shaft seal and may cause oil getting to the clutch plate or leaking out of the drive shaft seal
However the quality of oil used will have a bearing on the shifting of the gears
If the oil is too heavy ( viscosity above 80 oep) it affects the ability of the synchro mechanisms to work especially in fast shifting requirements
if it is too low ( 30 or less) it affects the wear or the gears and bearings and again will not have the shear strength to allow the synchros to engage properly with out causing excessive wear
From your question and problem description, I suspect that the problem is not in the transmission or oil level but in the clutch operation
If the clutch plate is not properly disengaging, the engine revolutions will not allow the synchros of the gears to operate properly and make shifting near impossible
so check the oil used and the level and fill to the level specified by the manufacturer
check and adjust the clutch for correct operation as there may be a problem in the slave cylinder/ master cylinder / cable operation that is not allowing complete disengagement of the cluch

Possible, but any noise should be investigated fully. Start by checking front diff oil, then transfer case oil. Best to just drain both then look for any metal in oil.

Little vibration when i start the A/C.

The air conditioner is designed to operate using a electromagnetic clutch assembly that receives a command signal from the activation switch. This command controls when electricity is supplied to the compressor clutch that engages and disengages the air conditioner system. If the air conditioner expansion valve/office tube is plugged or the system has excessive oil or refrigerant it can cause the system to vibrated when activated. To check for this condition the system will need to be drained and refilled to proper specifications.

im assuming this is a manual transmission, if so you need to replace the clutch assembly. the clutch disk has worn too thin for the pressure plate to hold at higher rpms and soon wont hold at all.

It sounds like the bearings inside the transfer case are going out, with pressure on it while accelerating its fine, then when you push in the clutch the transfer case gets slack allowing the internal parts to move, causing the lights to flash as gears move causing the shift motor to move. I would start looking for a replacement transfer case.
