Tramsmission will not egage even with the linkage

Kevin what kind of vehicle make & model we are not standing next to the car/truck to see it

pre egager is sticking ie solinoid is lazy

Probably you need to reprogram , other wise it is a clutch problem

If you look where the "bar"/linkage for your shifter attaches at the tramsmission, where it is attached to it should have a rubber grommet in order to make it nice and secure but also so it is able to move. I would check that grommet to see if it is still there or damaged. That's where I would start. I hope this helps and good luck.

if you are changing the transmission fluid to new fluid just go to this link web site they will show you how: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj5xTXRK9OI
usually when you get out most of the tramsmission fluid that if you have the container just pour it into oil quarts containers and you will get the results you are looking for as long on the stick of the tramsmission it shows max when you have the car running for a couple of minutes to make sure that the tramsmission fluid is at its max level.

The clutch or linkage needs repair.It happened on my Escort.It turned out to be linkage and was obviously much cheaper than a clutch.It sounds like linkage because even if the clutch was bad,it would kind of hesitate,rev strangely,be herky jerky,maybe even hard shift.Linkage problem is more like whatever gear you have is all you will get obviously because it is incapable to shift.Good luck!

hey, it sounds like the oil level in the gearbox, it not only lubricates but it also fills servos that change the gears and if there is low oil it will take longer to gain pressure.

Brake or Parking brake warning light. Any braking issues, Is the parking brake egaged (even just slightly)

is it because your not at a stop?

if you hear the solenoid engaging on the drivers door , then it could be catching and not locking or unlocking or even getting weak , if you don't hear anything at all the solenoid may be defective or there is no power getting to it then , but the locks should be on the same fuse , so its not likely a fuse thats blown , are you able to check for power to the solenoid or tell me if you hear the solenoid egaging?
