Transmission question. Now i know that it is damaging to an automatic transmission to put it in another gear while the car is moving, but I was wondering, in my 2009 CRV there is about a second delay when it goes into gear. Is it harmful to the transmission to take my foot off of the break before it completely goes into gear. One time I accidentally taped the accelerator before it completely went into gear. It only reved to about 900 rmp then lurched forward a bit. It was just an accident and only happened once, but could this have hurt something?

None of the above is harmful, the delay is normal as well.

Transmission making clicking noise when in gear and won't move

If your transmission is making a clicking noise when in gear and is not moving, it could be indicative of a serious problem. Here are a few potential causes to consider:

  1. Transmission fluid: Check the transmission fluid level and condition. Low fluid levels or dirty/deteriorated fluid can cause inadequate lubrication and lead to transmission issues. If the fluid is low, you may have a leak that needs to be addressed.
  2. Clutch or torque converter: If you have a manual transmission, a faulty clutch could prevent power from being transferred effectively from the engine to the transmission. In an automatic transmission, a malfunctioning torque converter can cause similar symptoms. A slipping or worn-out clutch or torque converter may require replacement or repair.
  3. Broken or worn gears: Internal components of the transmission, such as gears or synchros, may be damaged or worn out. This can cause the transmission to make clicking or grinding noises and result in a loss of power transmission.

Why my car will only move in 1st low gear and reverse

It sounds like your car may have a damaged or broken transmission mount. When you floored it over the rough RR tracks, the impact may have caused the mount to break or become disconnected, causing the engine to move and the car to not move when you shift into drive or 2nd. A damaged or broken transmission mount can also cause the car to vibrate excessively while driving. You will need to inspect the transmission mount and possibly replace it. However, it's recommended to have a professional mechanic check your car for any other potential damage or issues.

My 2004 Toyota corolla the gear shifting is not smooth

I assume Automatic Transmission?
Today's Cars are very particular about correct CLEAN fluids
AND filters!

"ATF" in most cases means Automatic Transmission FORD
Someone has done a transmission service with FORD transmission fluid.

The damage is done, there is nothing I can do for you.

However, you can try flushing the system of ATF with Dextron III
Automatic Transmission fluid at a Oil service company.
This will flush all the Damaged parts through your already damaged Transmission into the filter, doing further damage to seals and... along the way. Plus change the Transmission filter.

Bottom line;
Regardless of correct Fluid, The Transmission fluid IS dirty,
The Transmission needs clean Fluid and filter changed to run correctly, In any case; This may save what ever is remaining of your Transmission's life or not and your Car won't move at all.
OR you could do nothing and the Car May run another 30,000 miles or another 300 miles.

IF after doing a Transmission service the car won't move,
you can try putting the FORD Transmission Fluid in, which is an old trick to TEMPORARILY fix old worn out Chevy Transmissions.

Your Choice :)

I suggest playing the Slots at a local Casino first, to see how your luck is going before making a decision.
GOOD LUCK!

not likely that you did any damage doing this just once. It would be best to keep your foot on the brake pedal until the car is all the way in gear.

Your best bet is to keep your foot on the brake until it goes into gear. It does take a "second" for everything to work in the transmission, but if it is more, with it being a 2006, the factory warranty should still be good. I would have a Hyundai Dealer check the transmission, it may need a transmission service. I don't think you would hurt anything.
