SOURCE: how to tackle transmission oil change on '97 Mercedes E200

Hello, Check the kickdown switch that is located on the floor below accelerator pedal. Pull the carpet back under the pedal and you will see a black switch with a 2 pin connector. Disconnect the switch and see if this helps. If it does help, your kickdown switch is stuck in the down position and needs replacement. This will cause it not to shift until you are at a high RPM.

SOURCE: shift problem on mk4 vw golf with manual trans

Does it happen after you drive it? make sure the clutch assy. is not getting hot. If it is make sure to remove you foot form the clutch pedal just a little pressure can make the clutch slip. And heat will not let the clutch assy. to work right. If it is not getting hot check the shifting cables and the bushings on the transmission

SOURCE: 1997 Jaguar XK8 "Gearbox fault" (Auto) doesn't want to go

I'm not familiar with the jag but my ford is similar( no dipstick). I'm led to believe these are designed to prevent overfilling, which can blow out the seals. I undo the top pipe which goes to my radiator to cool the trany fluid, then get a 1/2 metre length of plastic tube to fit between the disconnected pipe and a 1 litre bottle of fluid. I then squeeze the fluid in that way....no more than a litre at a time, then try driving it again..Hope this helps.

Changed tranny fluid lost fifth gear

Start your vehicle and keep your foot on the brake. Move the transmission lever through the entire range of gears including reverse, several times.

Then check the transmission fluid level.

It doesn't sound as though you have too much to worry about. Valves in a transmission unit can become 'glazed' and sticky. When this happens they don't open and close at the correct pressure/speeds.

If need be, repeat the same process with your foot on the brake and the vehicle in D. Give the engine a few revs, but keep your foot on the brake... you're trying to build up gearbox pressure and move a sticking valve.

If there's no improvement consider using a gearbox additive - there are many on the market which will free sticking valves - and take your vehicle for a test drive.

Why merc c180 automatic gearbox leverage not moving when the engine is on what is the cause?

There are several possibilities here. First of all, do you put your foot on the brake before trying to put the lever into drive. This is a safety procedure in just about every late model car. It prevents the car from moving while you are shifting into gear.
Second, factoring in that you already know about putting your foot on the brake, does the car move at all when you try to put it into drive? If it does, see the next explanation.
Thirdly, there is a set-up that displays what gear you are in when driving whether it be Drive or Reverse. Sometimes the area where it indicates what gear you are in "breaks" and does not display properly. If you can drive the car, this is the most likely explanation.
Now, if the car is not drive-able, then you may have a linkage problem and you need a mechanic to fix that for you.

Please note that the Smart car is equipped with an auto brake system where if you remove your foot off the brake pedal , it will not disengage till you press the gas pedal , other wise you might have a problem .
Please try with out having your foot over the brake pedal and get back to us.

I just purchased a 1999 VW Passat and when I start to drive the car acts like a manual and it is an automatic. Now it has on the gears D,4,3 & 2 what is that about?

you have effectively got two gearboxes in the car.1is a normal auto (D) ON THE FLOOR then you have + and - for the "manual" take your pick....now here is the clever part,if you put the car in auto "D"and dont touch the gas the car will accelerate to about 35 on the flat.and will change as per a normal auto,if then when you stop you put 1/3rd gas pedal and hold that position it will go right upto about 65,stop then puit your foot right to the floor (kickdown)and the car will fly...stop...you have just reset the gearbox..try and keep to 1/3rd gas for about 25miles and you will see a big difference in gear changes/revs (smoother)but boring....

Golf SE 1.8l 1781 cc auto, constant jerking. Have tried all possibles suggestions but still not fixed

try this to see if it gets any better,from stop.put into drive and let car accelerate without gas(do not touch gas pedal) around 30/35 mph is about right.STOP.then use 1/3rd gas(keep foot still)and do same(around 60/70 mph)STOP. then foot to floor and go to max legal speed.then back off to 1/3rd pedal.then stop.you have just reset computerised gearbox settings.(only use 1/3rd gas for about 250miles,and you will feel the difference(boring)but saves you a fortune in fuel costs.and if you still have problem put on diagnostic to check out.

My son just purchased his first car; used 1994 ford ranger/automatic. The gears keep slipping; sometimes while driving, sometimes while at a stop light. Transmission fluid is fine. Any ideas where to look...

big problems ,fancy buying an old car with auto transmission ,best advice is to rip out gearbox and fit a manual ,The front clutch has given up so this would need a complete strip and rebuild ,here in spain i cannot even buy spares for an auto ,they do not even have a parts list ,just a price for a new gearbox .Even merc or vw give a parts list here

1999 nissan pathfinder jerks and stall when slowing down or at red light

YOU might find its due to the Auto Matic gear box as when you slow down at the lights or brake hard to stop the auto box should brake free at about 600rpm as to allow the car to stop but the engine to keep idling,but the drive bands in the gearbox and the pump which operate them are not braking free so its like, in a Manual g/box driving and stopping but leaving the clutch pedal and not pushing it in so the car stalls,
SO you may find that the next time you are driving it and come to the lights just try putting it in NEUTRAL gear before you stop and try, if it ok then get the g/box serviced . RON

Engine seems to be looked up

it could be one of 2 things it could be the auto gearbox, or piston has dropped and locked up. you would need to look at the pistons thought the spark plug holes to check engine. if you use a rod to check where the pistons are they should be 2 up 2 down on 4 cylinder engine if its un even say 3 down then that's the problem auto box it would need to be removed and checked. even manual gearbox can do this but if you put your foot on the clutch it disconnects and the engine would start.
