MJLamberson Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 today I get in my car, start it, put it into Drive (auto) and push the gas pedal, my engine revs but that car remains stationary, again, again, again... I try reverse, revs but again the car does not move... put the car back in park, turn off the car, start it again, and all is well, I put it in drive and drive home. what do you guys make of this, is it need for concern? should I make plans for a 5 speed swap?

m4xwellmurd3r Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 that almost sounds like what my Bronco II started doing before it went poof. Sometimes out of nowhere, it would suddenly rev very high before going back into gear. eventually i lost 3rd gear, then shortly after 2nd gear, then finally i lost all gears. (and overdrive NEVER worked) I'm not sure what caused my problem, but maybe that's what's happening to yours. If it's the same thing that happened to mine (not sure, but i think the bands went poof) then it might be time for a rebuild/swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I would start gathering 5 speed swap parts. Check your tranny fluid level too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted January 13, 2008 Administrators Share Posted January 13, 2008 Low tranny fluid or a plugged filter will cause the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4xwellmurd3r Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 automatic transmissions usually have a plate on the bottom similar to an oil pan with a filter in it or something like that. Automatics need that filter for the same reason the engine needs a filter. to keep the fluids clean so it doesn't damage the transmission. Hopefully it's just something like ron's reffering too.

jerryb Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 What colour is the tanny fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Make sure the fluid does not smell "burnt". If its like every other auto I have dealt with, you drop the pan and drain the fluid. The filter is right there, hard to miss. IMO if your bothering to drop the pan to check it, replace the filter and fluid from the pan. Especially if it smells burnt or is dark in color. New tranny fluid is pink/red (not sure if you knew that). Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six_Shooter Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I agree with what some other's have been saying. You'd be surprised what just a simple fluid and filter change can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TeamNissan Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 LOL Isn't that the point of all this? How do you mean pop? lol I'm not downing beating on it, just saying when you beat on a stock auto tranny like that you have to expect problems no?

MJLamberson Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 The fluid is a darkish red colour, still see through though but it is dark, and yes, it smells slightly "burnt" I will go buy new fluid and filter asap... and once again, thanks everybody.
