Sounds like the problem is the trigger, or the motor. If you have a continuity meter you can check to see which one will not work. Other wise you will need to try to swap out the trigger and the motor one at a time. Generally if it is one or the other, the cost of the repair is justifiable.

My impact driver when in reverse works fine but when in forward it will work for a few seconds then stop and keeps doing that. why?

I'd be looking for a defective forward/reverse switch, or a bad connection/wire on the forward side between the switch and the motor.

Have a problem with Hitachi WR22SA Impact Wrench Rotates in the forward (on) direction but not in reverse (off) Can you tell me what is the likely problem?

Please try to locate the forward/reverse push button switch. Please try also referring to your users guide. Forward/reverse has a different or separate switch. Thanks for asking.

My 92 Ford Taurus has had shifting probs for about 5yrs, but recently it wouldn't catch any gear to move forward, and severely "bucked" in reverse. Mechanic says it might be speed sensor,...

Some speed sensors will help the transmission know when to switch gears, but with some of the things you describe, sounds like after driving it that long, damage to the transmission has occured. Also, it could be a bad torque converter. There is also something called the transmission torque converter clutch solenoid, causes the car to buck and cut off. Hope this helps, any questions just contact me.

Reverse is out (major grinding, and quad doesn't

It is a pretty big job for a weekend mechanic. You will need some special tools > Impact driver, torque wrench, expanding 'C' ring pliers, case splitter and flywheel puller. The entire engine, top end and bottom end must be torn down. Don't try it without the manual. The clicking noise is probably a broken tooth on a gear. ALWAYS replace gears in sets, ALWAYS. The grinding is most likely a bad bearing.

Panasonic EY7540 impact driver. Does not go into reverse on 1st

The forward/ reverse switch is hanging up and the rotation of the drill is switching it, then it changes direction. The switch needs a little TLC and a good cleaning. Blow it out.
