auto as in automatic transmission? proper ATF level needs to be verified, no dip stick involved, a plug screw and proper operating temperature are used.
If the transmission is bad, consider converting to stick shift. If it's already a stickshift, check the fluid level and condition of fluid
Since the car is automatic, it becomes quite difficult to shift gears with a dead battery. Plus, if parked in a garage, there is no room to jump start the car by using another vehicle. If you face such a dilemma, do the following:
1. The gear or shifter has a cap on its bottom - you have to wedge it open (it can possibly break)
2. Now you will see a small hole, put a screwdriver or any slim object in it, and press and hold the button within
3. You will hear a click-now the gearbox has been unlocked
4. Shift to neutral
5. If the shifter cap has broken, get a new one from the aftermarket.
possible syncromeshing is worn out on the gear box. the syncromesh is a small clutch like part of your gearbox if this has stopped then the gear selection will be jumpy they call this crunch gear box.
either way you will most likely needs a new gearbox.
the other issue might be the cluthch is snatching if the vehicle is automatic then it will be the gearbox.
you should have a dip stick under the hood similar to the engine dipstick,normally you check the oil level when the transmission is at normal running temperature with the engine running & the gearshift in PARK or NEUTRAL, but make sure the handbrake is on securely......hope this helps......cheers
are you sure it is first gear it is making when in 1. In park does the car lock up if you try to push it with the handbrake off. If not your problem is adjustment of the cable i.e. although the lever is in reverse the gearbox isn't. Cheers John
