Q:I have a 2000 Chevy Impala i recently had my transmission fuel and filter changed and transmission fix-it added, now my car goes out of gear when i driving on the main roads or come to a complete stop i have to turn my car off for a few minutes then restart and it continues this cycle every 10 minutes, however when I‘m driving on the highway it does not shift out of gear. Now I‘m told I need to replace my sensors and or torque converter or catalytic converter which could fix the problem just wanted to know if this was true or did I need to replace my transmission?

I'd start out with making sure that your transmission linkages are position in the right spot. It almost sounds like when you put the gear selector into drive that down at the transmission its not quite in drive at that end. Not sure why it would suddenly now pop out of gear now perhaps it was hit or something when it was brought in for service.

Q:I know about changing transmission filter every 15000-30000 miles is there any thing eals I can do to protect my transmission

You can add a transmission cooler. Heat is the #1 killer of transmissions so a cooler will definitely help.gl

Q:My 1999 Chrysler 300m needs a new transmission. I have no idea how much something like that costs. I‘m guessing somewhere between 1-2k?

its a 606 transmission and depending whats wrong and needs to be replaced it will be around 2,500 dollars maybe more but nobody knows till they open up the transmission and takes a look can get one from a junk yard for about half that depending on mileage and warranty on the transmission

Q:Did a transmission flush because it was loud and wouldn‘t shift down. I was told to do a flush because the fluid was burnt. After the flush my transmission shifts now, but it seems to be around a particular gear (30-45 mph) it gets really loud. But it does appear to be shifting to me. So what is causing this really loud vibration noise. I drive a Neon 2003 120,000 miles. Thanks :)

no car needs a transmission flush 90% of time it does more damage than just replacing fluid and filter sure its not a cv joint or a wheel bearing

Q:oil of hydromatic transmission mixed with water in radidater , i changed thise mix and put new oil . but my car not speed (nissan sunny 1994)

Most likely the transmission cooler inside one of the radiator end tanks has sprung a leak. A mechanic should be able to remove the cooling lines from the radiator and pressure test the transmission cooling tank inside the radiator.

Q:Today my 1994 Chevy g10 beauville van stopped working due to transmission problems. I took it to the shop on the corner that does some of our repair work, but we have been noticing them getting higher and higher with their prices, so here is my question:What is a general estimate to repair/replace the transmission in the van? They said between $1,400.00-$1,800.00, but they aren‘t doing any of the work, they are just sending it to a transmission shop.I‘m getting the feeling it may be cheaper in other places and it‘s just so much because they want to make money off of the referral. Anyone else think I should go somewhere else and try to see what they say? I can‘t move the van with it being messed up though so will the other shops be able to get a accurate estimate to give?Just ranting. Thanks for looking.

I'd almost bet that's a 700 R4 transmission. You should spend some time and call a few shops and ask for estimates. I hate to say this but many transmission repair shops are crooks. In this day and age though it's much easier to research a shop your thinking of using. Go online and see what people that did a review have to say. My son had a Ford Taurus that had transmission trouble. One shop told him it was shot and gave him an outrageous price for repair. I had him tow it to a friends shop and it turned out to be a 40 buck sensor. So it pays to check out a garage if possible. That said IF it does need a new transmission the price they gave you is about right. A garage that isn't a transmission shop isn't going to repair yours. They are going to pull it and put a rebuilt transmission in it.

Q:is the manual transmission on the Audi a4 still the cvt tranny?

The manual model of the car is a manual, otherwise it's auto!

Q:could someone give me some pointers as to how to change the front transmission seal?

you have to drop the transmission for a job like that. after you get it out then pull the torque converter out and you will see the seal. take a thin screwdriver and pry the old seal out but watch you don,t scrape the pump where the seal goes in. oil up the new seal and start it in the pump the way the old 1 came out and tap around the seal until it,s seated all the way into the pump. now when you go to put the torque converter back in make sure it,s all the way back in or you will tear the pump out when you first hit the switch.

Q:I have a 2002 Honda Accord 4 Speed Automatic and it is due for a transmission flush I have heard mixed reviews that Honda ATF could actually harm these already fragile transmissions. So my question is should I buy Honda ATF or Synthetic fluid. Thank You

I would advise against a transmission flush - Honda actually advises against it as well. As you said, the transmissions are fragile and a flush involves too much pressure. Typical Honda procedure would be to do three fluid drain and fills, with a good bit of driving in between each change. If the fluid comes out red and clean, without metal shavings, you don't need to do all three - be your own judge. I've recently done my ATF change on my 2007 Accord, making the switch to synthetic ATF fluid (Redline ATF to be exact, it's highly reviewed for Honda transmissions). My fluid looked pretty good at the first drain, so I only did it twice. Shifts definitely felt a lot smoother after. Overall, I think it's more personal preference for fluid - but there's no harm in using synthetic. I personally sway more towards synthetic.

Q:is it good to flush out the transmission. because i heard one you do that it will mess up the transmission even more

I have heard both, but what my neighbor who is a mechanic says is this. He always recommended changing the transmission fluid at 60,000 miles and having it reverse flushed. However, he did it to his truck, and wound up replacing his transmission. He says it was because of the reverse flushing that he had to do this. It seems that the metal particles that were caught in the recesses of the transmission were sent back into the transmission upon reverse flushing, and those pieces were the culprit. A few tiny metal filings at a time won't do any major damage, but a bunch of metal filings will do a lot of damage. Now, he recommends changing the fluid and filter(s), but not getting the revers flush done. Hope this helps.
