SOURCE: shift problems 01 jeep grand cherokee laredo

Hi. the very first thing you will want to do is check the fluid level in the transmission. If the fluid level is good and the filter is also in good condition, you should go to the next step. This next check will be shifter cable. if it checks out ok like you stated, the next problem spot will be the shift solenoids. these are very important and they preform the shifting action once you initiate it by using the shifter. if the shift solenoids are bad or malfunctioning, you will experience these shifting interruptions as you are today. Replacing the shift solenoids will fix this issue. They are located inside of the actual transmission pan.

please rate and god bless.

SOURCE: stuck in 4x4 low range

My wife just recently had a similar problem. She got stuck in the mud and put our 2004 F150 in 4x4 Low to get out. She didn't. Had to have AAA pull her out. She then left a bit later and the truck was still in 4x4 Low even after switching to 2WD. She even tried going backwards to get it to switch. So she called me frantically because the car would not go over 10 mph w/o the RPMs getting way too high. I said I'd call her back. So I called our local Ford Repair shop and he gave me these instructions (loosely based on what the owner's manual says to do) 1. Start Vehicle 2. Switch to 4x4 Low 3. Put in Neutral 4. Switch to 4x4 High 5. Go in Reverse for a bit and then Forward a bit again (You should now be in 4x4 High) 6. Put in Neutral 7. Switch to 2WD You should now be good. If that didn't work, then try repeating step 5 after step 7. Which reminds me. I really should call her back :) (It worked)

$35 sounds right for the lever. It definitely sounds like it's your lever acting up as the contact seems to be stuck

SOURCE: 2002 Jeep Liberty 3.7L cooling problem

There is only so much to the cooling system. Although I
should be careful what I say cause my 02 liberty might over hear me and remind me just how temperamental their cooling system is.

I would replace the thermostat and if that didn't work you may want to remove the top plate holding the radiator down to check for any debris that may have collected on the radiator vanes.
I just replaced mine 3 days ago and the part cost around $20 so it's a pretty cheap item.

As long as your not losing coolant then that's about all you can do. If you are losing coolant regardless what the pressure test shows let me know and I'll help diagnose that problem.
Hope this helps.

6 Speed Crafts Riding Lawn Mower LT1000 Why gear shift won't move out of any Speed?

Let's troubleshoot this problem step by step:

Linkage Adjustment:
The issue might be related to the linkage between the shift lever and the transmission. Sometimes, the linkage can become bent, broken, or jammed.
Inspect the linkage carefully. Look for any signs of damage or debris that might be obstructing its movement.
If you find any bent or broken parts, consider repairing or replacing them. Also, ensure that the linkage is properly lubricated according to the user manual.

Purging the Transaxle:
Try purging the transaxle to ensure smooth operation. Follow these steps:
Place the mower on a level surface away from any obstacles.
Turn off the engine and apply the parking brake.
Disengage the transaxle by moving the freewheel control to the disengaged position.

Check for Mechanical Obstructions:
Inspect the area around the gear shift lever and the transmission for any obstructions.

Replaced gear linkage cable bush, now stuck in park any help on BA falcon 2003

Check that the cable is routed correctly and didn't get hooked around something where it doesn't belong. Is it possible to put the bushing in backwards so it won't rotate properly? Also, check the linkage position to make sure it is properly synchronized with the shift lever. Finally, make sure the transmission position indicator matches the shift lever position. If you can move the lever in the wrong direction out of park, that would indicate one of the above misalignments.

I've been there and done that ...

2003 CADILLAC DEVILLE DTS CAR SHOWS IT IS IN DRIVE BUT IT IS IN PARK AND WONT START AND CANT GET KEY OUT OF IGNITION???

Re-adjust the shift linkage to set the lever higher so it is in park when the indicator says it is. Until you do this adjustment on the linkage, the key will be locked in the cylinder. The shifter lever MUST be ALL the way up to park position in order to remove the key.

Shifter for low and high range won't switch from high to low 10 speed eaton fuller manual transmission

the small air valve at the box will be suspect as they tend to seize up and not move
check that the plastic air lines to the switch or box are still intact
check that the gear knob is operational
some knobs are where you move the lever sideways to change the ratio and others have a pull up knob under the lever handle
the flick switch sometimes develops problems in the rubber"O" rings

Gear box stuck in high range

You don't say what vehicle so I'm going to give you some general advice. If you haven't operated the high/low for some time it could be the operating cable/linkage is just seized up. If you have operated on loose surface and can't shift then the transmission could be "wound up" which means there is unequal load on the driveshafts. Go to an area of slippery grass / sand and try moving the shift lever at low speed while going forwards and backwards. If you need more specific advice then come back with all the vehicle details and driving history.

Stuck in low gear won't go in to hi gear

Just a suggestion...if you are talking about the two speed transfer case, the vehicle must be running and in neutral to switch between gear ranges. Neutral, running, foot on braks and then try switching gear ranges, Hope this is the answer you are looking for. If not, explain more what you are seeking.

I was driving at 60 mph with cruse on and the trans popped out of gear i stopped and no forward or reverse i pulled the transfer case lever and now it is stuck in low range the linkage seams to be working...

You have to get into the transfer case because the problem lies there so if you do not know how to do this that you should take it to a mechanic that can do this. If the transfer case was seriously low that one of the linkages broke inside there.

I was testing out the 4WD tonight climbing a steep hill. I wanted to go to low range 4WD so I shifted it over and down where it worked but when i tried to put it back in 2wd high it seems the linkage is...

In most 4x4's low range is used so infrequently that it binds up. Hopefully a linkage rod slid out of adjustment or came off and you can re-adjust or re - connect it. The setup in my cherokee is pretty much the same as yours and it tends to bind going into low (there is nothing else wrong with it though). One of mine (also a 93) actually refuses to engage unless you turn the engine off and then select that gear and is likely due to internal transfer case wear.(hey...it's old!!) On some I've worked on, just spraying everything down with wd40 and working the lever back and forth is enough to free up the linkage. One thing you don't want to do is pull really hard on the lever...that's when you break stuff!!!

1996 ford contour transmission range sensor

Transmission range sensor and neutral safety switch are the same thing (when you go to buy the part). It's at the top of your transmission. You'll see the shifting cable connected to it. Here are the instructions for adjustment:
Shift Control Linkage
The transmission shift linkage adjustments must be performed in the order in which they appear.

Column Shift

Place transaxle range selector lever in (D) (OVERDRIVE) position or D (DRIVE) position on vehicles equipped with a transmission control switch (TCS). A weight of 1.4 kg (3 lb) should be hung on the transaxle range selector lever to ensure the lever is located firmly on the (D) (OVERDRIVE) or D (DRIVE) position on vehicles equipped with a transmission control switch (TCS) detent.

Loosen manual control lever-to-control cable retaining nut.

Move transaxle manual control lever to OVERDRIVE position or D (DRIVE) position on vehicles equipped with a transmission control switch (TCS), second detent from most rearward position.

Tighten retaining nut to 17-23 Nm (13-17 lb-ft). Check operation of transaxle in each transmission range position. Make sure that park mechanism and transmission range (TR) sensor are functioning properly.

Floor Shift

Position transaxle range selector lever in DRIVE position against rearward stop. The floor transaxle range selector lever must be held in the rearward position using a constant force of 1.4 kg (3 lb) while linkage is being adjusted.

Loosen manual control lever-to-control cable retaining nut.

Move transaxle manual control lever to DRIVE position, second detent from most rearward position.

Tighten retaining nut to 17-23 Nm (13-17 lb-ft).

Check operation of transaxle in each transmission range position. Make sure that park mechanism and transmission range (TR) sensor are functioning properly.



To take it off, it's a couple of retaining bolts and a wiring harness.

Does my Mustang have a low gear?

the C4 automatic transmission is a 3 speed transmission, it shifts by hydraulic pressure controlled by a governor and actuators, I would check your linkage to see that it is hooked up correctly to allow movement through all range selections, disconnect the linkage at the trans and see how many detents you feel while moving the lever back and forth, make sure to chock your vehicle as moving the lever from Park may cause the car to move. Let me know what you find, hope this helps
