Caprice :: 1983 - Transmission Not Engaging Drive Gears
My transmission had no slipping was running fine . Oil level was ok , recently added 1/2 quart , cause it has some small leaks. I go to drive away other day and none of the drive gears or reverse would engage. Mechanic thinks transmission locked up . Kind of hard to condemn my old baby considering it was running fine .
Would the TCC solenoid do this or the ECU ? I recently reinstalled the bar going to starter that was disconnected for 5+ years because i was having slow crank issues. This transmission problem occurred 2 days later. I am thinking it might have made the ECU unit go bad , since the starter had not a good ground for so long ?
Dodge - Stratus :: 2004 - Transmission Not Engaging Right Away When Put Car In Drive
2004 Dodge Stratus 80K... What happened is my check engine light came on maybe 6 months ago and I took it to have it looked at and they were closing but the guy told me don't worry about it and I be ok until I come back and it probably wasn't a big deal. The light went off a day or two so I didn't worry about it. It came on about a week ago and I haven't had time to take it in yet. So here is the chain of events-
Check engine light (6 months ago approx)Check engine light off (couple days later)
Check engine light (1-2 weeks ago)
Put my car in drive, transmission didn't engage right away. I thought I had it in neutral by mistake. then it engaged.(about a week ago)
Same thing happened last night except it took longer for it to kick in and when I ran into the store and came out, it backed up ok but wouldn't go in drive right away. I thought it was because it was freezing) out and maybe needed to warm up better. (we had a terrible ice storm here in Washington).
Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Clicking Sound In Transmission When Car Is In Gear Either Reverse Or Drive
I always thought the clicking sound I was hearing in the morning was coming from the engine. Then I realized the sound doesn't start until the car is in gear, either reverse or drive. After a few minutes it will go away but until it does, it is a noticeable sound. I still have a warranty. I am wondering what this could be.

I have aproblem with my 2007 Camry 2.4 SE automatic tranny at 88000 miles. I parked my car as usual,got back after 2 hours started the car normally pressed the brake pedal to engage D and....nothing happens. The lever moves freely from R to L but the light on the instrument cluster stays at P and the car won't budge!!!!! What could be the cause.
The tranny showed no signs of failure before,excpt a slight vibration while in Drive. What I should go checking before towing the car to dealer.Any fuses relays etc.?I mounted a back up camera lately and had to slice back-up wires in the trunk to do that ,could this be related?
Buick - Lacrosse :: 2007 - Brakes Not Engaging When Reversing And Car Is Cold
The brakes on my 2007 LaCrosse do not feel like they are engaging when I am reversing and the car is cold (first thing in the morning or first thing after work). The pedal feels very stiff/hard and the car doesn't feel like the brakes are stopping it. Every time I apply the brakes after that first time, they behave fine. I had the front brakes repaired/replaced but the problem persists.

I recently came across a problem that is not a big deal but enough to irritate me. When I engage the parking brake it will shut the radio off. I cant see to see how the two systems are related to one another. I don't have the brake light lit on my dash indicating anything is wrong with my brakes. I have tried to reset the navigation system a few number of times but the problem is still there.

RX350 AWD 2007 ...
I recently starting hearing a beeping noise coming from the inside of my car and then i noticed the traction control symbol on my dash. I looked up the symbol in my manual and found it to be the traction control. However, I am not sliding when this is happening. I am just going around a corner, or in 1 case just merging on the highway. I have had this car for several years and it didn't operate this way, so something is definitely wrong.
One additional piece of information - My rack and pinion steering just got replaced in the last couple weeks. However, I called that shop and they told me the two are not related. I'm not sure, so I just thought I would add that piece of information in case it matters.
Lexus LS 2007+ :: Won't Start / Makes Buzzing Sound / Starter Spinning But Not Engaging?
My 09 LS w/ 65k on it wont start. last night i drove the car around to several places, and on my last stop of the day i couldnt get the car to start. finally after several tries, it fired right up. but today, no such luck.
All the lights come on (and I have charged my batery with a tender to be sure its not the battery), the steering wheel moves in to position, and I either get a click, or a buzzing sound.
Sounds like starter, any other opinions?
Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Transmission Shifts Into Drive Twice
Lately, I've been having an issue with my 03 GX. It seems when the engine is cold and I back out of my driveway, when I put the truck into D, I feel the usual bump into drive, then it falls off and then a harder bump before I'm able to roll forward. If I don't pay attention and accelerate at the time the transmission seems to drop out of gear momentarily, the truck slams into gear and feels like I granny dropped it.
The truck is coming up on 120K. I've checked the transmission fluid and it is at the correct level.
Chevrolet - S-10 :: 2000 - Wheel Drive Not Engaging
I just noticed the 4 wheel drive on my 2000 Chevy S10 doesn't seem to be engaging. The traction doesn't get any better turning it on and the other day I got stuck on a hill and the back wheels weren't spinning. What I can check or look at to fix it?
View 1 RepliesLexus GX 2010+ :: Transmission Not Wanting To Engage After Being Put In Drive
We recently had an issue with our 2011 GX460. My wife first experienced the transmission not wanting to engage after being put in drive. Once it did engage there was a loud bang/pop noise, then no issues afterwards. The same thing happened to me this weekend. It was weird, like the brakes had frozen up then suddenly released and the transmission slammed into gear. We bought the vehicle used a couple months ago with 39k miles. With factory warranty remaining it will be heading to the dealer shortly.

The transmission went out on my 2006 gs300 it is a rear wheel drive car but i am having a hard time finding anything but an awd transmission for that year. Where I can get one? Or I was talking to a mechanic and he was saying the the only difference between the two trannies is a adapter to go from awd to 2 wheel drive cars so I might be able to use an awd trans and pull the adapter of.
View 1 RepliesToyota - Yaris :: 2007 - Clunking Sound From Park To Drive - Possible Broken Transmission?
I bought a 2007 Toyota Yaris about 12,000 miles ago in March of this year. Automatic transmission, it now has around 72,500 miles on it. Recently, I have noticed a "clunking" sound/feeling when I shift from park to drive while on an incline. It doesn't matter if I am going from park to reverse, or visa versa. It is more of a feeling... like something is broken and shifting forward or backwards more quickly/violently that it should, but I can hear it slightly. There is no such sound/sensation on level ground.
Temperature/weather is not a factor. Is this a symptom of a bad motor mount/tranny mount? I had a bad motor mount on a previous car, and experienced a rattling noise while idling. There is no such noise or vibration with this car. I do not have a stable mechanic yet and would like an opinion before I try and establish a relationship with one (considering I am a small 25 year old woman who looks 17-18 years old, and I am not normally taken seriously).

View 11 RepliesFord F-150 (2004-2008) :: Four Wheel Drive Not Engaging
I have read through the folders and many websites on 4x4 problems. My problem has to deal with my four wheel drive not wanting to engage. It has nothing to do with the front end or solenoids. When I put it into 4x4, hi or low it will not send any power to my transfer case motor. It wont even illuminate any lights on the selector switch. I have checked all fuses and replaced any relays that have to do with the 4x4. Where I should go with this?
View 7 RepliesLexus SC430 :: On Start And Put In Drive Transmission Slip For About 5 To 10 Seconds
I have an interesting automatic transmission problem. Hot or cold makes NO difference. When the car is started, put in reverse it will work perfectly 100% of the time. When the car is started, put in Drive the transmission will slip for about 5-10 seconds before working perfectly. When the car is started, if you wait 3-5 minutes, then put it in Drive it will work perfectly.

View 1 RepliesCamry :: 2007 V6 - Transmission Slipping When Car Is Cold
So, we bought this camry about a year and a half ago and it has slowly developed what I believe to be a transmission slip. It seems to happen more often when the car is cold (prior to warming up to operating temperature). The transmission only shifts between (i think) 1-2 gear. Could be 3-4 but, it's kinda hard to tell.
Anyhow, it doesn't keep us from driving the car but I fear it will eventually make the car un-driveable.
We have a used car warranty but under the automatic trans. section it appears to only cover hard parts and not things like bands or other friction materials.
is this a known issue for this transmission? and if so, what typically causes this kind of slipping?
