Question:
My van runs great and shifts well after warmed up. But, when cold, it hesitates to shift into reverse and then does it with a thud.
Answers:
why is my 88 iroc powering off when i get to a red light after i've used for a like half hour or so?
It's not likely that the filter would be the cause of that problem. It sounds like The transmission valve body (which has small actuators that control which gear the car goes into) has a sticking actuator. If the check engine light comes on this is definitley the cause of your problem.how do i disable a starter interrupt system?
have you checked the trans fluid first?i have a 1996 ford fiesta, if i stick biodiesel into it will it go ok?
I could be a clogged filter. the newer automatic transmissions also have sensors. You may have a bad sensor. I hate to say it, but you may have to take it and get a diognostic done on it, Most cost 50 to 75 dollars.how can i change the rev limiter on a skoda octavia?
yes it will my 1986 Chevy truck does the same thingAlternator, belt, or tensioner? Ok...here's some backstory and then my question lol:?
If you do not change the transmission fluid as the owners manual reccomends, the fluid causes the valves to stick. Change the fluid and put in some additives and develope a close relationship with GOD. A clogged filter won't keep it from going into reverse unless it is clogged with a tee shirt or something.Car won't start in the cold... water in the fuel lines?
With recent cold weather patterns, i've noticed my 2000 chev silverado does this. I have to put in neutral and let it warm up for a few minutes and then it's okay. I service this truck every 2500 miles an have always followed service recommendations in the owner manual.If your area has experienced cold weather this could be the cause. But, if you haven't changed transmission filters and fluid for quite awhile might help to do this.
what do you think about driving w/ out a maf?
Yes it will. Check your fluid level. Go to the parts store and look at a new filter. Is it a paper filter or a wire mesh filter. The paper filters will clog. The wire filters rarely cause any problem. If it's wire and you have a drain plug, you can just change the fluid and put in a transmission additive to help loosen up sticky valves. Otherwise, replace the filter, fluid, and put in an additive. It sounds like you have a sticky valve. It's just old. This is normal after 150K miles. Good luck.More Questions & Answers ...
