Robert, transmission and gear box are really the same thing. The transmission/gear box/transaxle drive the differential putting power to the axles driving the wheels. There are lot of combinations though

Depends on what sort of set up you have.

If there's a transfer case - it's like another gearbox on the transmission - it's the transfer case (I.e a gearbox..) that supplies power to your front wheels.

The transfer case is itself powered by the transmission. You will have a propshaft (driveshaft) running from the transfer case to the front differential.

SOURCE: 95 pontiac transmission not engaging drives

could have stripped the shifter linkage best to know is to take it to tranny shop not something you would want to handle by yourself especially if you have never done it before.

SOURCE: When in gear and driving.The transmission drops

what is the mileage on your car? and how much abuse does the car get? this is indicative of internal transmission damage, if you can you should take it to you local chevy dealership, or a trusted mechanic because this is highly technical work. unless you feel like taking your transmission apart yourself, in that case here is whats wrong. 1. your transmission linkage is out of adjustment due to either abuse or some parts are worn, or 2. or your transmission output shaft pilot bearing is damaged, causing excessive play and "Batting" your lever out of gear.

SOURCE: big noise when engage in

Hi,

I have seen the cables for the 4wd actuator stick and cause the actuator to stay part way engaged and make a bad grind noise while driving. The 4wd actuator is under the battery and has a cable that goes to the front differential. You can check it to make sure its released fully and make sure there isn't vacuum going to it in 2wd.

The way you are describing it, It sounds just like the gear that engages the 4wd inside if the differential is not pulling back all the way. Used ones from junk yards cost around 300 dollars. Sometimes you can find a remain but it will be pricey.Have the actuator and the cable checked before you pull the diff apart.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

SOURCE: transmission don't engage on drive gear but slowly

Checking transmission fluid is always a good idea and thats where i would start.If it is full then most likely the input hub is broken in the transmission and this will most likely lead to an overhaul.You most likely have a ZF4HP22 or 24 depending on engine size.This is a tricky little unit to repair and I would avoid the "low bidder".Good luck!

Car won't go into any gear

If a car won't go into any gear, it could be caused by a number of issues. Here are a few potential causes:
  1. Clutch or Transmission problems: The clutch or transmission may be damaged or worn, preventing the gears from engaging properly.
  2. Linkage problems: The linkage that connects the gearshift to the transmission may be damaged or out of adjustment, preventing the gears from engaging.
  3. Low fluid levels: Low fluid levels in the transmission can cause gears to slip or become difficult to engage.
  4. Electrical issues: An electrical problem with the gearshift or transmission control module can prevent the gears from engaging.
  5. Clutch Pedal: The clutch pedal may be malfunctioning and not releasing the clutch properly, preventing the gears from engaging.
It is important to identify the cause of the problem before attempting to fix it. If you are not comfortable with the diagnosis, I would recommend taking the car to a qualified mechanic or a transmission specialist for an accurate diagnosis and repair.

When driving my drive line kicks out of transmission and does not go back in till i manualy put it back in why

I think there is a lack of understanding of terminology in your statement
The drive line is that section from the gear box to the diff or if front wheel drive from the diff to the wheels
If it was to kick out as you say , there is no way that it would go back in as it would be all smashed up under the vehicle
so lets decipher what you are trying to say
The top gear (over drive ) jumps out of gear and I have to physically reselect the gear
would that be what the problem is?
if so then the problem will be from several things
loose gear box on bell housing or failed engine mounts
gear not fully engaged on selection
worn bearings on out put shaft
worn extension housing bush
selector mechanism worn out or loose
It is fixable but if you go to the local garage you will be sold a perfectly good gear box for what is basically nothing wrong

The car can be put in gear, but the gears do not engage, it just revs. Manual transmission.

First I would ask if this is a "new" problem. Then I would ask is the front wheel or rear wheel drive? if rear wheel drive, is the drive shaft turning if so then Rear end or axial issue. if not then try all the gears if any other engage (especially high gear) then transmission problem.

Bring vehicle to a transmission shop ASAP. If the spilling oil is automatic transmission fluid (ATF) ( usually pink but Honda has been known to use regular oils in transmissions )your leaking ATF and its affecting the subject gears.

Tiptronic engage/disengage when hot

You clutch packs have worn out and the not shifting properly when hot confirms this, you may check transmission line pressure, hopefully I am wrong but most likely you need a total transmission rebuild. and a front wheel drive automatic is the most expensive rebuild out there.
