Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Transmission Hard Shift Between 1st And 2nd Then Again Between 2nd And 3rd

2011 F-150 Scab 5.0L 25k miles. Why my transmission is waiting several seconds after being placed into drive or reverse before it actually slips into gear when first started in the morning and why it has a hard shift between 1st and 2nd than again between 2nd and 3rd and maybe why when it shifts into 2nd and 3rd gear it slips back out than back in?

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2011 - Hard Shift From 1st To 2nd At Low Speeds

Any solutions for the tranny/rear end hard shift from 1st to 2nd at low speeds on a 2011 f150xlt / off RD package with the 3.73 rear end/ elec lock. Had FORD do an update earlier and seems to be worse !!!!!. I will get a bang out of rear end when going over a speed bump and tranny shifts to 2nd. I am bringing back for warranty service and would like a some information to be educated before going.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: V8 Transmission Hard To Shift At Highway Speeds

I have a 2014 screw 4x4 v8 that has been in the shop 5 times now for something that the dealership can't duplicate, and that is intermittent enough for me that I can't determine what the conditions need to be in order to duplicate it myself.

My transmission will shift hard under two different situations:

1) when rolling through a stop, or a momentary stop at a stop sign, the transmission holds up between 3 and 1, and when I bring the rpms up, the transmission shifts down into 1, making a hard clunk;
2) at highway speeds, more so when using cruise, if I accelerate and the truck shifts down from 6 to 4, there will be a hard shift as well. In fact, when I'm on a long stretch of flat, open road using cruise at 70-75, I can feel a slight bump through the steering wheel and floorboard, as if the cruise is trying to engage the throttle a bit more, but only for a split second. But that will happen quite a few times within a couple miles until I come up on a grade and the throttle has to engage for a bit longer to keep speed. Sometimes, the hard shift will do occur going to 5 as well, but 90% of the time it will be a 6-4 shift. If the truck decides to shift from 6-3, there's no issue and it shifts and accelerates like it should.

Again, this is so intermittent, but when it happens, it happens several times. I've had the service tech ride in the truck with me, all the while not being able to duplicate the issue. I understand that these are learning transmissions, so the only thing I can think of is when I try to duplicate it by accelerating over and over, that the transmission adjusts the shift pattern or fluid pressure to compensate.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Transmission Exhibit Extremely Hard And Abrupt Shift Every Now And Then

Starting to develop an issue where the trans will exhibit an extremely hard and abrupt shift every now and then - most only during the first couple hundred yards of driving and I think its the 1-2 shift. Only will happen once and only rarely but its becoming more frequent. I have an '11 5.0L supercab auto 4x4, but my father has a similar truck but with the ecoboost which does the same thing on a MUCH more frequent basis. He has been in numerous times with no resolution so I am loathe to expend the energy on "dealing" with them.

Elantra HD (2006-10) :: 2007 - Shift Into Neutral While Coasting?

I'm wondering if it is OK to shift into neutral while coasting (engine on). I've read varying arguments back and forth on whether or not it hurts it. I've done for a while in my 99 suburban and the transmission still shifts just fine. I've tried it once in the elantra just to see how it affects my fuel economy, and it boosts it about 100mpg (coming off a freeway ramp). Braking and steering controls don't seem to be affected by the lower vacuum.

I can see why its not advised while the engine is off (i.e., towing), but if the engine is on, torque converter turning, transmission fluid pumping, I can't see where it would hurt.

Passat (B5) :: 2003 W8 Engine Light On And Car Just Bogged Down Hard When Coasting In Neutral

So I was driving my car about a week ago when it decided to "die" on me for about 2 seconds. I was coasting in neutral (tiptronic) to a red light when the car's engine light popped on and the car just bogged down hard. I threw the car into drive and the problem went away immediately. I haven't had the problem since then, but I'm also not allowing the car to coast in neutral anymore.

I was thinking about bringing the car in to have them read the computer but is this something that they would be able to trace back or would I be out the 90 bucks for nothing? I have absolutely no clue what this could be.

Prius V :: Pressing Brake Too Hard / Tranny Would Not Shift Into Drive?

My 6'4" hubby just got in my PriusV 2012 to use it and when he tried to shift into reverse, the parking brake was on and the anti skid icon lit up. It would not shift into drive. When I got in to see what was going on, after he turned it off, everything worked fine for me. It has never done this before but he rarely drives it. Is it possible he was mashing the regular brake pedal down too hard? He wasn't hitting the parking brake getting in or anything like that, I watched when he tried a second time.

We kept trying but he ended up taking his truck instead (which I was washing for him) I know on a couple occasions making fast, hard turns into our driveway I have lit up the anti skid icon but other than some extra braking action it has not caused a problem. And once while stopped at a light and reaching for something in the back seat, I lit it up, but I forget what the car did. I was mashing the pedal down hard as I reached back. I assume in both cases the car thinks I am getting in a wreck and is taking action.

Of course, I just finished washing it but there is no chance it's anything with that? I moved it from the front yard to the back and had no issues before he tried to use it. Anyway, I had this thought about pressing the pedal too hard after he left and here I am asking.

Ford Transmission :: E4OD - Hard 2 To 3 Shift Caused By Slow 1 To 2 Shift?

This is on my 7.3PSD. I've observed that the 1-2 gear shift drops about 1,000 RPMs and takes a good half second or longer to do so when given a lot of accelerator pedal input. And then the 2-3 shift is a very quick and harsh shift.

If I am accelerating gently the 2-3 shift is as unnoticeable as the 1-2 shift is quick. Is the slow 1-2 shift causing the trans to protect itself and affecting the 2-3 shift? And if so, what do I do to resolve all of this? I changed the trans fluid a week ago and there is no change.

Ford - Focus :: 2001 - Brake Pedal Feels Hard / Transmission Hard To Shift From 1st To 2nd Gear

Could my brake issue be related to my transmission problem? Neither are constant. Brake problem= sometimes the brake pedal feels hard, like there's no power brakes (I drove a car once. ..looong time ago. .. that had no power brakes or steering) but it will kick in after a short distance. Transmission prob= seemingly unrelated, is a problem shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. This has happened maybe a 1/2 dozen times, the first time and mostly when in heavy commute traffic and when going between 1st and 2nd gear because of the slow commute speed, but also at other times when not in lengthy slow commutes. When it doesn't shift, the odometer doesn't work (shows only dashes) and an engine light comes on (the sprocket/gear looking one). Usually the transmission will eventually shift and the light goes off.

I read that the brake problem might be a vacuum hose problem? Something about a booster? Is this dangerous? or is it like having a car w/ no power brakes? Going to have my transmission looked at this week. Read on another site about dropping valve seats on this year car. If there's a major transmission problem, I'm wondering if it's worth fixing? I changed, timing belt, water pump, front and rears brakes, tires. 143,000 miles.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2011 - Ecoboost Shutters While Coasting Or Maintaining Speed?

I have noticed over the past month that as I am maintaining speed, I will have a vibration or shutter. It sounds and feels like you are running over the cuts in the road on the shoulder. I can accelerate and make it stop but as soon as I want to maintain speed it will happen again. It does not feel like there is anything going on in the transmission. I have searched the forums and have found some similar problems but not exactly. Where should I look first? U-Joint, Drivesahft?

Prius (Gen 2) Fuel :: MPG Decrease And Coasting Not At 99.9

I had my 2006 Prius (108k miles) shipped (on the back of a flatbed) from Los Angeles to Seattle in mid-October, and I noticed a drop of MPG pretty quickly. I went from 46mpg to now 34mpg over the last month, over 3 tanks of gas.

I have Goodyear tires, but I don't know the make of them (I remember they were 'High Efficiency' or something, meant for fuel economy) and I checked the PSI and it was 36 front, 34 rear. At first I thought it must be the tires but they seemed fine.

Then I thought it was the cold weather, but really the change in temperature wasn't very dramatic (until last week) as I was on the beach in LA where it was typically 65 and the past month in Seattle it would be typically 50-55 (this past week notwithstanding!).

Prius (2010-12) :: RPM Slowly Goes Down When Coasting

I have noticed something about my 2010 Prius. Lately when I am driving the car for about an hour, the engine slowly reduces RPMs (based on sound) when I take my foot off the gas. The MPG indicator slowly goes from near zero to 100. Like VERY slowly. And that is just street driving below 45 mph. The car has almost 60k miles. Tires are correct and in very good shape.

Prius (2004-09) :: Humming Sound When Car Is Coasting With Gas Engine Off

My 2008 Prius had a front quarter panel replaced after my wife back in to a fire hydrant.The body work looks fine , no issue there, but now when the car is coasting with the gas engine off you can hear a humming sound that was not there before the repair.Also it does,nt seem to be recharging the hybrid battery at the same rate.My thought is maybe the body shop caused some damage to MG1 by spinning the front tires on a emision testing machine or rollers.Does special precautions would have to be used when testing wheel clearances after a quarter panel replacement on a hybrid? Would a body shop need to do this ?
