03 suzuki aerio automatic transmition won t shift into overdrive

Sometimes the trans. will go into O.D. and ay other times it remains in third gear. this problem seems to increase when the car is cold, however it will also happen at times went its had ample time to warm up. There is no slipage of trans while shifting or any other time. The only work preformed on the car recently is I have replaced both CV axles.

    Seems like it will shift after 15 minutes of running - whether actually driving or not.

You have two temperature lights that come on when you start the car, one red and one blue. After the car is started the red light goes out and the blue one stays on. According to the manual, (and from my personal experience with my '03 SX), the car needs to warm up to a proper operational temperature. This temperature is reached once the blue temperature light turns off, (or within seconds afterwards). If you don't allow your car to warm up you will notice hard or long shifting, rough idle, and poor engine performance. Never drive your car if the light displays a constant red temperature light.
If this solution does not work see a Transmission expert of take it to your local Suzuki Dealer.

    from the research that i have done, lots of people have this problem with suzuki aerio's. i have a 2002 suzuki aerio, i bought it used and it worked fine the first few years. the past 6 months it has not gone into 4th gear when im going over 50 mph. at first i thought it was the weather cause it started in the winter... but its may and it still does the same thing. ive asked around and no one seems to know what the real problem is.

Towed 03 suzuki aerio now the transmission won't engage in any gear

You have probably burnt out the clutch pack by turning trans from the wheels.
Get the car looked at by a transmission specialist.

I hate to say this but I never flush a trans
You risk getting dirt in the solenoids

I would suggest a trans shop and explain the
issues & go with them on a road test before
you leave it

Stay away from the auto parts stores & chain stores
because in the end you will go to a repaie shop &
they will check for codes & starts a diagnostic process
of component testing

So the trip to see what the codes are for free i think is
a waste of time

My ford F150 won't shift from 2nd to 3rd. Does anyone know what could be the issue?

Usually the transmission needs to be rebuilt in that situation. It's a very common problem if that's the famous automatic overdrive transmsission. AOD I have had three trucks that have done that. It usually starts by shuttering when it shifts and than finally goes out. Sometimes the Lucas transmission treatment gives you a little more time, but it sounds too late for yours. From what I understand (mechanic told me) that when the overdrive goes out, it takes third gear with it. If you drive in hilly areas, that overdrive is shifting in and out all the time as you go up and down hills and wears it out. My Dad had that hapen on his F150 and he replaced his transmission with a junk yard transmission that turned out to have the same problem. I had that transmission replaced with a Jasper rebuilt and it worked great. I think it was $1300 for the rebuilt trans with the old one core trade in. I think when 3rd gear goes out, you can only go about 45mph without over reving the engine. I saw that same problem with a Ford Crown vic with that same transmission and 302 engine that my neighbor had.
Did your third gear just go out all of a sudden or were you getting like a shuttering or kind of a grinding sound when it shifted?

Transmition has a had time shifting is automatic

the mechanic should check the shifting gear and the shifting lever or the shift level and also the gear sleeve. Gear sleeve is the one that make the gear function. And lastly don't forget the transmission sensor because sometimes the problem can be found in the sensor .Then try to check the 1st. gear, 2nd gear,3rd gear,N ,R.of the trans mission to be sure .
