    Why does my trans. slip
    the car has 105.000 miles when i take off the trans. slips and sometimes it shutters. the fluid level is good but it is dark and smells burnt.. i was thinking it needs a trans. but wanted to see if there was any other fix

      not really a car this old sounds like the transmission needs to be rebuilt or replaced. You can try an additive live lucas transmission stop slip and see if that helps for the time being, but remember you need to check the fluid level and remove some if it is all the way up before adding the quart of stop slip

    Thrumming of drive train
    I had a thrumming while driving at 60+ MPH on the freeway. I was told to replace the flex discs, which I did. The old ones were somewhat cracked, but not as bad as some pictures I have seen. The sound still happens. It is not related to engine velocity because when ...

      You have an Axle problem probably, the best thing is to replace the Central bearing too as you already replace the Flex disc, and check the Sleeve Yoke Spline and shaft if worn, you have to replace it. Check for any loose bolts & nuts to the Axle assembly. This is the most common problem that you may check and replace for the noise.

      Thank you very much, I hope I bought the right one. The back one looksok, haven't found the front one yet. It's got to be right behind the transmission. I'll get on it today.
      Thanks again

    My transmission is slipping in reverse only, what could be causing this?
    I can back in reverse only on level ground. I have to wait about 4-5 seconds then the car starts to move in reverse on level ground.

      Your transmission slips or won't go in reverse? Low Transmission fluid is the common problem of slippage, refer to your owner's manual, find the location of your transmission fluid dip stick and check the fluid level. Add fluid if low, and test your transmission for a few miles of rides. It's just for the fluid, try it if it works.

      Inspect your shift linkage it may be loose/wear or incorrect adjustment. Also check your transmission fluid refill if necessary.

      The most important thing in A/T vehicles is the fluid level, most people have this problem only to find out they just need to top off their reservoir (hopefully it hasn't done any severe damage to the drivetrain) check it first, if it is full, then there is something wrong with your transmission.

      Any symptoms prior to this? Usually what happens to other people is one (either drive or reverse) goes bad then both.

      Also the bands in your tranny might have been stretched or it can also be that your torque converter has gone bad.

      Before this happened to you, when you select DRIVE, does the car move by itself without you stepping on the gas?

    When replacing the fuel filler neck, do you have to replace the whole componet or just the hose?
    the hose has a hole in it. and how does that happen?
     
    • Bobby

      Not sure how that would have happened? is it like a dry rought hole, or is it something possible damaged it, or i a spot where it was rubbing up against something? There should be just the hose you can replace. What do you mean by the whole component? If it is a seperate rubber hose attached with clamps on both ends then you will be able to replace just the hose

    Why is my rebuilt tranny not shifting properly
    I just had the tranny rebuilt. It is shifting late and now the mechanic tells me there is only one shift in the tranny that is taking place. He says it may be the vaccuum line to the linkage cable that is not working properly or the throttle linkage itself. Do ...
