If I am understanding your problem correctly, you are driving along, come to a stop sign/light, and the car starts bucking, and then dies. If you try to start it right back up, and put it into gear, it kinda slams into gear and then dies? If that explains it then.. This is a very common problem. You have a faulty TCC solenoid. I have replaced this sensor with very simple tools (a 10 mm socket, a rachet, a gasket scraper, a T15 or T20 Torx driver, and replacement parts). It took me about 1 hour to complete having never done this job befor. The following link will tell you how to replace the sensor if you have a 125C tranny (3 speed). Althou the car pictured is a fiero, the same procedure applies. http://www.kichline.com/chuck/fiero/TCC.htm
A car without a reverse or neutral gear needs a transmission overhaul. It is possibly due to improper fluid levels, or broken gears inside the transmission itself.
What can cause the RPM on a car to jump while driving is a problem with the transmission. It could be a problem with the gears in the transmission itself.
The neutral safety switch is located on the bottom of the transmission on the front. Held by two 10mm bolts and a long metal shaft that goes through it and the bottom and then into the transmission. It is connected by a large wire harness on the top of the part itself and can simply be plugged in.
Calcium itself is neutral.
Assuming this is also called the neutral/park safety switch, it would be found on the lower portion of the steering column (column shift) or in the console (floor shift). You will not find it on the transmission itself.
the neutral safety switch on a 2002 impala is located IN the transmission itself- brilliant design by GM engineers- rated at 16 hours labor,over $1800 to replace- GM should have a recall on this item
If referring to the letters on the gear shift, they are commonly called the prindle, for Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive and Low. The stamped identification numbers on the transmission itself are the id numbers with additional information such as build sequence and the date of manufacture.
Hard shifts are not improved by any type of transmission fluid. Your automatic transmission is controlled by a computer. When it detects certain faults, the computer puts the transmission into "high line pressure" mode, meaning that it's trying to protect itself. If it's a really hard shift, it could be that the computer has detected a fault. On the other hand, if it doesn't shift hard when you're driving, it could just be that the idle speed is too high. BTW, when the computer puts the transmission into "High Line", it also turns on the malfunction light.
Yes, you can crack the transmission pan before damaging the transmission.
There are a number of reasons why your wipers may come on by itself when driving. You may have a short in the wiring.
It is actually inside the transmission itself. You get to it be removing the transmission pan.
on the side of the transmission itself.
