Passat - Volkswagen :: 1994 VR6 Auto Transmission Won't Shift - Slips In Between 2nd And 3rd Gear
i have a 94 vw passat vr6 that wont shift. when you start off in drive it takes a second for it to start to move. if you shift it manually from first on up it shifts okay but sometimes it slips in between 2nd and 3rd. the only time the car will shift is after driving it a few miles at about 65-70 it will shift itself into second gear and not come out you have to shut the car off and wait a few minutes to "reset" itself. after driving it on the highway it kicked itself into second gear, i pulled over and the fan was on and it looked as if there was some fluid on top of the transmission but cant recall if it had been there earlier. i checked the ATF and there was no shortage of fluid. could the fan be on due to the transmission over heating? what could be the cause of it not shifting?
View 2 RepliesPassat (B6) :: 2.0 Auto Thuds When Auto Downshifting After A Long Drive At Highways Speeds
My 07 AT 2.0 has a weird problem - when auto downshifting after a long drive at highways speeds, the whole car thuds. This happens after driving about 20 miles or so at 60MPH+. 5 or 10 miles are not a problem.
What happens is that when it slips down into 2nd, it sounds like something jams (no grinding). The force/feeling is similar to running into something at a slow speed - like bumping a car while parking.
If I slip into Tip and downshift manually, it doesn't happen. Outside of this the car has 22K miles and drives great.

View 1 RepliesPeugeot - 505 :: V6 Auto Transmission / Hard Shift
I own two of the most hated cars on this show, a Renault Alliance and a Peugeot 505 V6. On the 505, the transmission was shifting pretty roughly, it was knocking hard. I bought another 505 for spares that was shifting smoothly. So this summer, I decided to spend 4 weekends on hard labor and I swapped the ZF automatic transmission from the rough car to the good one. After all that job, I didn't notice any real difference. So I guess it was the torque converter that I left on the engine?
Anyway, I decided that it will stay like that because I will rather take a bullet than drop this tranny again. Now yesterday, it was -30?C outside, after 3 months of storage outside, just for fun, I tried to start it. It started right on! So I let it warm up for few minutes then went for a little ride. Big surprise, it shifts very smoothly now in cold weather... So what's wrong? Wrong type of oil? I filled up with the one suggested in the owners manual!

View 4 RepliesFord - Taurus :: 2005 - Hard Shift Auto Trans
My 2005 Ford Taurus (3.0 liter engine, auto trans, 117K miles) recently began shifting hard (dropping suddenly, not smoothly) only on the 2-3 shift at 20 MPH. The check engine light is not on, and the car functions perfectly otherwise. A mechanic removed the trans pan, replaced the filter and fluid, and added Lucas additive. The interior of the trans was clean, and did not have a burned smell. The 2-3 shift did not improve.Could it be a valve body or a solenoid? Is it repairable? I drive it gently, and the problem hasn't gotten worse (2 months). What's up with my trans?

2013 Elantra GT ... Odd sound when shifts at higher RPMs. Like a chirp, or a tiny blow off valve from an old home turboed civic. Some sort of leak? When the engine is under load, it sounds like I may have some sort of minor exhaust leak, though that is nowhere near audible in the video. Very curious as to what this is.

Everything was working perfectly. I stopped at McDonalds to get a bite to eat. When I left McDonalds, the car would not shift out of first gear. I have checked the transmission fluid and it appears to be good. I shifted from Park to low, and low back to park several times making sure there was no problem there. I noticed it also kicks hard when going into reverse, and it kicks hard when going into drive. When it is driven it will not shift out of first gear.

1999 Ford Ranger XLT 3.0L Flex Fuel Truck .... When i put the vehicle into Drive, it takes about 15 secs to auto-shift into gear ... if I step on the gas at any point before the shifting has occured it will not shift into gear at lower rpm's and forcefully buck into gear at higher rpm's ...
This occurs at startup and/or any time the truck is idling (ie, ... at a stop light/sign) ...And, curiously enough, this does not occur in Reverse, which shifts beautifully. I'm planning on changing/replacing the trannie fluid and filter and checking the valve body gaskets for wear this next weekend ....

My VSC and check engine light have come on. In addition now the auto trans will not shift past 4 gear with in auto or with me doing it manually. My local shop who has worked on this car before and is very good put the computer reader on it and got a P0500 for vehicle speed sensor "A". Today they put it on the real monitor and it reads a different code that says check engine code but does not reveal the code to read.
I really don't want to go to my dealer and get it hard. The car has 175,000 and until now has run great. I tried the gas cap fix to no avail. The shop did a reset when i first got there and it last 75 yards.

View 3 RepliesToyota - Avalon :: 2012 - Moving Auto Stick Shift Awkward?
My wife and I test drove a 2012 Avalon Limited at our local dealership. It was a demo that they were selling as a new Toyota at a $5,000 discounted price.
We loved the TAL but we found that moving of the automatic stick shift to be a little bit awkward. This bothered my wife more than me. We had to move the auto shift stick from side to side and then forward and backward to go between Park, Reverse, and Drive.
On our 1988 Toyota Supra that we still love to drive, the auto shifting between Park, Reverse, and Drive, and the lower Drives is easy. You just move the automatic stick shift forward and and back to change gears. It was the same on our 1988 Toyota Celica GTS, another wonderful car that we sold to a friend recently.
We should have asked the salesman about the automatic transmission stick shift but we asked lots of other questions instead.
So what can you share with us from your experience? Did you get used to moving the auto shift stick from gear to gear easily? Is there a safety reason for this shifting alignment?
