Is my transmission bad or can my car be saved?
I have a 1997 ford tarus and I can go into every gear fine but it won't move and if it does it's very slow some one told me my transmission was bad but I was hoping something else was wrong because there was no noises and there was plenty of fluid in th tranny
Time for a rebuild or replacement…
You could have a bad CV joint. Look at the axle shafts and see if parts of them are turning in the transmission. Have a friend keep a foot on the brake and the gas and put it in gear to test.
Yes its most likely your transmission
Check the fluid for a bright red color (OK) or a sickly smelling, burned, brown color (bad). My money says the Forward clutch pack is toast, but I've only dabbled in transmissions since the early '80s.
Check your fluid level first
- Can a bad thermostat in a car cause the tempature guage in the dash to not work? Or is the guage itself broke? I have a 1991 Ford ranger and have no idea if the engine is overheating because the gauge doesn't work. Thermostat or gauge? Of its the gauge do I have to replace the whole cluster?
- Bad fuel pump or bad Mass Airflow sensor? My truck us having very hard time starting up. It cranks over, putters and shakes really bad then dies. Once it finally becomes drivable, it almost stalls when accelerating from a stop or turning right Could this be a bad fuel pump, bad MAF, or another failing part? Truck is a 2006 ford ranger
- Is getting a lot of miles on a car actually bad for the car if the car is well taken care of? Back story: I have been using my car to visit a guy who lives about an hour away from me, and my mother has said that I "don't need to be putting all those miles" on my car. It is a well-taken care of Ford mustang with about 125,000 miles on it, and I have not noticed any issues at all. Cars are meant to be driven, in my mind. Is putting mileage on a care actually a bad thing, or is mother probably pulling an overprotective mother of an adult child?
- Can you get a 2015 ford mustang and Chevy camaro in automatic transmission instead of manual transmission? Hi, I'm thinking about buying a 2015 ford mustang or Chevy camaro. Both of the cars come in manual transmission! Is it possible to get it in automatic transmission instead? Can I just ask the dealer (dealership) to give me the car with automatic transmission or do I have to change it myself?
