I was driving down the road today when all of the sudden the rpms went high the speedometer went to 0 and 2nd geer is the only gear i have now Ive talked to a mechanic and he sais its my ignition do you know if this sounds right and if it is what kind of part and money will I be into.

have vehicle scanned for reason it went into limp mode and shut down

If the speedometer stops working the odometer stops also. Sounds like it is stuck in first gear. The RPM went up because the throttle was response to pedal but transmission not response. Check transmission fluid color. Whip off dipstick on a white paper towel look for gray if see any that is metal shavings and transmission is bad.

Sounds like you have really screwed the pooch here. What I suspect you did was put the wrong transmission fluid in when you replaced the fluid. If you did use the right fluid, then I would suspect that there is not enough fluid in the transmission to make it work. Check if you used the right fluid and also check your trans fluid level.

The voltage regulator has failed if the voltage EVER rises above about 15.5 VDC. Surface voltage should not be as high as 13 VDC unless maybe the bike has JUST been shut off and then it should bleed down into the high 12's after about an hour of sitting.


The signal self cancellation is tied to the speedometer and the TSM/TSSM and so if one fails it will affect the other as far as signal self cancellation is concerned.

It sounds like your clutch went out.

1st off if check engine light is not on then there will be any codes to check.... however you have a problem that is not being picked up by your computer... so u may have a vac leak... more air into engine makes rpms go up...

This is a manual transmission? If so the clutch probably needs to be replaced. When you say "VIOLENTLY" what is going on, what is the road speed, what are the RPMs at? The more specific information the better. And this problem ONLY occurs between gear changes, right? The other times, everything is normal?

bad transmission, it will need rebuilding or replacement. sorry....hopefully this helps

First I need to ask is it a 4 speed or a 3 speed transmission. If it's a 4 speed when driving down the road pull it from drive to third gear. You shpuld hear the engine speed up if it does not then that means you have on 4th gear and you will have to take it to a transmission shop. If it's a 3 speed then just count the shift points if all 3 gears are present then drive down the road and see if the van goes into tcc. When you mean the rpms are high how high are they.

check your anti freeze and watch your temp gauge.any check engine light on.
