How to keep a transmission in 1st and 2nd gear?
We are racing a 1997 Neon in a 4 cylinder circle track class. I would like to run in 2nd gear, but do not know how to disable the auto upshift for the automatic (3 speed) transmission. I have put it into 1st and it still shifts up to 3rd. Is there a way to disable the shift?|||u can unplug the transmision and it should stop it there should be one plug in the front youll have to remove the battery tray to get to it from the top (witch is a lot eaier then trying to get two it from bottom and there should be a plug on the right side of the tranny i dont remember how i got to it though hope this help|||LOL 3 speed!!!|||get a stick shift...
How reliable is a transmission after you convert it from automatic to manual?
how does it shift?
run?
and is it as good as a stock manual transmission that comes standard on a car?
does anyone here have any experience?|||You can not convert an automatic transmission to a standard. What you can do is remove the auto and replace it with a standard. I've done it and it's reasonably simple. Go to a salvage yard and get the parts from a model like yours. Get everything at once and you're still sure to miss a couple of small things but with a little elbow grease, you'll have a car that performs as good as the factory installed standard. If you really want to improve on the transmission, buy an aftermarket transmission such as a Richmond or similar and use it instead of the factory standard. Also get yourself a top dollar clutch and you'll be all set to go.|||that all depends on how you drive the car...but it should be relaiable...don't know why you'd want to go to a standard transmission unless you are racing though...standard transmissions are a pain as far as I'm concerned.|||Ive never even heard of that being done before.
If you want a manual in your car find a decent used manual transmission for it and put it in it. Dont try to convert a automatic over to a manual.
Maybe im wrong but that just sounds insane to me.|||I have done the opposite. I converted a Manual 5 speed transmission to a Automatic 5 speed transmission (With overdrive) The car never was the same.
It would stick hard into gears and first gear would rev extremely high. However this may have been our lack of knowledge in the way it was installed but even odd in-s- and outs-s would act strange such as when shifting into "R" or Reverse the hazards would on occasion engage. Make sure your wiring is correct. Hope this helped.

How much would a transmission from a junk yard be around?
I need a manual transmission for a 91 ford ranger v6 2.9L 4x4. Around how much would one be and also out of what trucks and years would work?|||The price is going to vary, depending on the junkyard.
So why are you asking us? Call around, and get prices.|||As has been said prices will vary depending on the wrecking yard.
For any questions that you have regarding interchangeable parts and which parts will fit which different vehicles, talk to the folks at your local wrecking yard.
Most wrecking yards are networked with many others across the U.S. and can order most any part you need. They can usually have the part for you within a couple days.
They also have access to all the interchangeability data you could possibly ever need right at their fingertips.
They'll give you accurate information and in just a few minutes.|||At a pick n pull I would guess $100-$200? A regular junkyard will charge according to all factors, such as if it is low mileage from a wreck. But I would doubt you would pay more than $500. The junkyard can tell you the compatibility for free. Just see what they've got. You've got to shop it around. See if anybody will sell it installed at one price. You might want a new clutch at the same time.|||shoudl be aroung $300 to $500

Can you drop the transmission from the bottom in a 2000 ford focus?
Does anyone know if you can drop a transmission from the bottom in a 2000 ford focus or do you have to pull it from the top?|||the transmission is on the bottom of the car so i would assume you would have great difficulty getting it out the top, i havent ever heard of pulling a transmission from the top before. you focus i think is front wheel drive and the CV/ drive shaft should be one of the lowest points in the engine bay and they connect directly to the transmission|||this might educate you about a tranny removal replace process for fords

Can you strip the transmission by towing an all wheel drive car with two wheels down?
My dad recently towed an all wheel drive vehicle with the hind wheels down. He said it felt like they hit a rumble strip and pulled over. Could the transmission have been stripped by doing this?|||It depends on if your dad had the 4 wheel drive in gear or in neutral? If he did have it in any gear then yes it could have. Also it depends if the vehicle is normally front or rear wheel drive without the 4x4 engage. If it is rear wheel drive then again yes. But if it is front wheel drive and you pulled it with the rear down then no.|||If the transmission was put into neutral before being towed, then no. It could be the drive shaft u-joints let go and caused the thumping.|||Yes..
How long does it take a manual transmission on a Corolla 01' to go bad without fluid?
Ok, The car insurance is trying to get my mother to pay 50% for a transmission she bought at a dealer ship. Problem is, she just bought it used at 4-5 months ago. They claim it was negligence for not changing the Transmission Fluid. But she did change it at Wal-Mart! Can they still charge her under full warrenty?|||If the car is still under warranty, and it has been properly maintained then they have to fix it. It sounds to me like they are trying to pull one over on your mom claiming that she was negligent, This car is known for problems with the transmission. get a lawyer if need be, and make them pay his fees too!
The car may go a few seconds without tranny fluid, or it could go a long way.|||First you must determine the root cause of the prblem. if the tranny leaks its fluid by itsel, its a waranty problem. if wal-mart put in the wronk fluid, or not enough, then they are liable for full damages, and if this is the case, you need to have it in writing by a certified mechanic, and be adamant with management that it be taken care of. such was the case with my brother in 05'|||So long as she was doing the maintenance on it, and having WalMart change the fluid according to the manufacturers recommendations is sufficient, then she should not have to pay for any repairs.
If the damage was done because she allowed the transmission to run out of fluid, then she is getting out cheap by only having to pay half. Warranty companies do not pay for anything that fails due to normal wear and tear, or anything that fails due to negligence.
If she still has the receipt from WalMart, I would fax that to the warranty company as proof of maintenance.
Prepare to fight a bit for this, the first people you deal with at one of those places, usually work hard to find a reason NOT to pay for damages.|||All she needs is the receipt from Walmart.
You left out a lot of information that would help people answer your question. You never said many miles the car has. How many miles has it been driven since you bought it? Did they say all the maintenance was up to date when you bought it?
You need to know what is the manufacturer recommended interval for changing the transmission fluid?
Go to the dealer and see if they have maintenance records on the car. When was it changed last? It may be possible to go to another dealer and see if it had a extended warranty by the prior owner and see if they can tell you whats been done to the car before you bought it.
Sounds like you need someone who knows cars and is very assertive to go to the dealer with you.
You may have to take them to small claims court.|||"Used Car Lot" Not a New Car Dealer's Used Car Section?
What Kind, If Any, of Fluid Did "Wal-Mart" Mechanic Add? Why Did it need to be Changed after 4 to 5 Months, Should "if Needed" have been Done before you Picked up the Car from the ""dealer""
Depending on the Distance of the Drive and weather it was Completely "Dry", 2 to 4 Days to Destroy the Transmission! But During the time it would be Extremely Noisy!
50% Maybe but then you should goAfter Wal-Mart for that 50% and................
Good Luck!

What kind of manual transmission oil does a 1988 acura legend need?
It's a 5 speed stick shift. The tany has been leaking and I think it need oil. or a new transmission.|||%26gt;%26gt; The tany has been leaking and I think it need oil.
You need to fix that
===
Acura (and honda) use ENGINE OIL for manual tranny. Don't ask me why. I know because I own a Honda civic manual shifter.
Gear oil (usually used in Manual tranny) will make the shift really stiff and hard and wear out the syncro-mesh.
Good Luck...|||F-4 will do for tarnny as well as power steering as it is for high mile or older cars and works great putting mositure back in gaskets and seling leaks. It will take an hour or so of driving to feel any effect.
