sqsux Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) My car isn't shifting to drive right away (thats what it feels like to me atleast). When I back out of my driveway in the morning everything is fine, until I put it in drive and try to take off. It revs up for a second and then jerks and takes off, I know one of the sparkplugs is bad/ misfiring, and the trans fluid is fine, I just had a seal in the transmission replaced as well as one in the engine or something (rear main seal or something idr). Anyone have any ideas why it does this?

sqsux Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 When the misfire started, did the trans problems arrive? No clue, I bough it as is without being serviced because It was so cheap and so nice it would still be worth it to get the trans replaced. Quote Start out boxy, shape as you move along.

sqsux Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 that sensor thats in the trans may be goin out get it checked to make sure Alright I'll keep that in mind, another thing I forgot to mention is that the throttle position sensor is going bad, I didn't think it would have anything to do with it, but then again I'm on a car audio site asking for mechanical help Quote Start out boxy, shape as you move along.

Yea mine was leAking like crazy while I was driving one night, my parents noticed oil all over so I went and checked and I had no oil at all, but it stopped leaking when we replaced those seals, I read something about a seal being put in wrong and blocking fluid causing to do this, anyone ever heard of that?

wildbeast15 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 you need a tranny bro its slipping... find someone for a rebuild or buy a new car lol part yours out Quote The set up your talking about would sound great in my Tahoe. Trade you my dog for it. He has one eye but that only makes for bad depth perception so hey so what if he is running into shit, look at it this way he is easy to sneak up ninja style on.

ryde2idie Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) if your on a level surface with the engine running in park or nuetral and you check your trans fluid and its up to the full mark, clean, doesnt look too thin, and it should still have a nice shade of red to it then id take it to an authorized transmission shop and explain to them your problem and let them look at it and give you an estimate on cost to repair. also id check into the shop you had the seals replaced at; it doesnt sound like a seal problem but it wouldnt hurt to ask them if anything couldve happend.

The guy that did it did it in his garage, but he works for a family friend's garage, my mom called him and I'm going over there after school aparently. Thanks for the help I'll post back what they tell me later on. Quote Start out boxy, shape as you move along. Dc Audio Team Fur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
