When putting car in R or D car dies

I was driving on highway. Voyager was missing power while hitting hill and shifting to overdrive at 50 mph. After a while I smelled something. I eased the speed. Later I pulled over and while braking and stopping car it shaked and bumped roughly, rpm went up and down and then car died. Then I started it easily but when I tried to put it in D or R, car shakes and shuts off. After a while I managed the car moving first putting in R with guick shifting and full gas and then in D and I was able to drive on highway 30 miles with normal driving and shifting. Then I had to stop on lights and car died almost the same way as before. Now I can make the car moving with quick shifting and full gas but it dies on every stopping. Starting is ok, although motor is wobbling and shaking but that was situation even before. With normal shifting into D or R engine revs up a little then rpm goes very low then back to 500 rpm and then shuts off. I have installed LPG on my car and the stalling is the same on gasoline and LPG. Please help, I have 2 small kids with me, 200 miles from home and I am desperate.

I have the same problem, you need to change de oil transmission or try an additive for aut. trans that resolve the problem for a while, but is almost most better changing de oil.

SOURCE: 2004 subaru forester, 99,000 miles. Check engine

Drop in to an Autozone, or Pep Boys, or similar big parts store & they will usually scan for codes free. This will hopefully eliminate all the guess work, or at least point everyone in right direction for better diagnosis. If not obvious from codes what the problem is, get back to us and we'll help you out.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the great suggestion . I'll have Autozone read the codes on Monday. Thanks again!"

SOURCE: ford ranger 1997 2.3 engine problem

I own a 96 & 97 Ford Ranger 2.3 Manual. The truck would shake hard when I came to an idle. We replaced Motor mounts, Timing belt,
Plugs wires, Harmonic Balancer, had it looked at for tranny brackets. It still shook. Clutch and Tranny shops all said it wasnt the clutch never heard of it before. Mechanic friend from out of state called - Had a Ford also with the same problem. If the shake gets stronger as you drive Crank or Harmonic Balancer, If it shakes at an Idle it is the PILOT Bearing bearing the clutch wears out from heavy hauling or torching motor. Clutches are replaced and the parts behind it are never looked at.

When driving down the road should the transmission be in drive or overdrive?

Overdrive.

Unless you're towing something, or maybe if you're going up a hill and the transmission is 'hunting' for the proper gear. You could temporarily pop it out of OD until you get to the top of the hill.

Overdrive will allow the motor to spin more slowly, thus burning less gas.

When putting car in reverse or drive car dies

sounds like your automatic transmission is stuffed, take it to a mechanic for a second opinion but it seems to me like you'll need to either rebuild or replace the transmission

OVERDRIVE is fine in most driving. if you tow a trailler or pulling long hills take out of overdrive. otherwise the vehicle will handle when to shift.

What is the o/d button on top of automatic gear stick for please

Over Drive..... Generally speaking, overdrive (OD) is the highest gear in the transmission. Overdrive allows the engine to operate at a lower rpm for a given road speed. This allows the vehicle to achieve better fuel efficiency, and often quieter operation on the highway. When it is switched on, an automatic transmission can shift into overdrive mode after a certain speed is reached (usually 70+ km/h [43+ mph] depending on the load). When it is off, the automatic transmission shifting is limited to the lower gears. For an automatic transmission, it is almost always best to select overdrive and allow the transmission to control engagement of the overdrive. (It may be necessary to switch it off if the vehicle is being operated in a mountainous area or when towing a trailer.) With a manual transmission, overdrive should usually be selected when the average speed is above 70 km/h (approx. 43 mph).

Love my MGM. Notice when driving at 50-60 mph and going up a slight grade, when I press the accelerater to maintain speed, the engine will "cough". If I step on it more it won't...

maybe the cough you are feeling is the car shifting out of overdrive. try going up a hill with overdrive turned off before you get to the hill and see what it does

When in overdrive trans shifts into drive also light on dash blinks

It would help if you said this was manual or automatic, because both can have overdrive.
You also need to tell us at what speed this happens, because you should only put it into over drive when above 50 mph.

Over drive goes into drive and stayes there also pulses on hills befor down shift

this is normal for the transmisson to down shift out of over drive it does this because your engine is running out of power on the up grade. now you shouldnt be alarmed unless it slips out of overdrive on a flat road
