4L80E will not shift out of 1st gear what to do?
check the fuses in the fuse box "under" the dash, there is a fuse that blows and then the transmission will not shift because the solenoids will have no power and the trans will think it is off. a blown fuse is caused by a short, in that circuit you either have a wire rubbed through between the pcm and the trans connector, inside the trans or you have a solenoid inside the trans shorting out, sometimes the fuse will also blow if the fluid level is too low, sometimes fuses just blow. if the fuse is blown steps to take are: replace it and see if it blows again right away, if it does not then check the fluid level by starting the truck, put your foot on the brake, move the gear selector through all the gears, leave the truck running and check the fluid level on the dipstick, this will give you a true reading, if you are low add fluid, if you are a little high don't worry, drive the vehicle and see if the fuse blows again and if the transmission now shifts. hope that helps
How do you know when to shift to 5th gear in a manual car?
Your gear does not define your speed, your throttle input does. It is advisable to shift up a gear whenever your engine is making too much noise because the revs are rising too much into the red line. Do not do that if you don’t want to damage your engine. Also driving at super high revs also pulls down your fuel efficiency as the engine has to work more. The Engine makes so much noise because of the cylinders going up and down that fast. Watch a video of how an IC engine works and you’d realise what you are doing to the engine parts by not shifting up. You are already driving at 80km/hr, which is the speed limit on most Indian highways. My advise is you shift into fifth at about 65 or 70 kmph and then maintain 80 by giving slight taps to the throttle paddle. Doing an 80 kmph in 4th also needs you to almost floor the throttle paddle, which again is bad for your car. Try to maintain your engine noise to the bare minimum, but not so low that the starts knocking. Just like life, driving also needs a good balance. There is no 1’s and 0’s or blacks and whites, it’s all a grey area and you have to find your sweet spot.Try to clear your ideas of a gearing in a car. A gear does not necessarily mean high speed. The gears control the power and torque delivery to the wheels. The gears translate the engines motion into the motion of the wheels. I can drive in 3 or 4 different gears at the same speed. This gear means speed is a big misconception, particularly amongst Indian drivers. When you need your car to pull through a particularly demanding part like a steep slope or a sandy area, when you need more torque of the engine delivered to the wheel so that more force is applied on the surface through the tyres, you go for the lower gears. On the other hand, when you need more pick up, when you need the engine revs be more directly translated into wheel rotations, you shift into a higher gear. Basically, keep this in mind - If you do need more power to maintain the speed, only then shift down, and if you feel too much torque is being produced for that speed and you really do not need that puch in your back, shift up.PS: - Drive Safe! Drive Sensibly! Respect other drivers. Be gentle to your car.
Honda Accord 2002 Gear Delay more than 3-4 sec?
the delay is abnormal. The two most likely causes are 1) that the transmission unit is low on hydraulic oil or 2) that there is a sticking control valve in the transission. I have to assume from your post that the delayed engagement is the only issue and that once engaged that the transmission operates properly. If thats not the case and you have slippage between gearshifts then you would expect to find internal damage. If the shift quality has not changed, then you approach it from the point of 'what has changed' to cause the delayed engagement. typically when transmissions leak oil they will do so slowly to a point where there is marginal oil pressure. Oil pressure is what locks the various internal components of a transmission in place to give you the different gears. Transmission fluid expands greatly with temperature so that a condition that occurs cold will usually go away as the 'transmission builds up pressure'. That pressure gain is through the expanding fluid. So then, thats the long way of saying check the fluid level and check for leaks. If the transmission fluid level and condition are okay, have a transmission pressure test done by a reputable shop. That will quickly spot any signs of internal damage. Lastly, you didn't mention the mileage on the vehicle. The factory fluid should be flushed out and replaced at 100,000 miles. As the condition could be caused by a sticking hydraulic valve that gets hung up on the accumulated varnishes in the transmission, a transmission flush will clean out all the goo and restore the operation without investing a lot of money. and, that flush really is the only way to get all of the fluid out of the transmission to change it all. I think you'll find the fluid or fluid level to be reponsible for the condition hope that helps
Can't change temperature on Honda Accord?
this is fairly common on the older hondas and its usually the knob for the heater control that is the problem pull on the knob that you use to turn the temperature higher or lower. the knob should pull right off. You'll probably find that the inside of the sleeve of the knob that goes around the post that actually turns the heater cable is cracked. when that happens all you're doing is turning the knob and not the cable to change the temperature. you can get the replacement knob at any honda dealer. they're not expensive. just note that when you go to put the new knob on there may be a metal sleeve from inside the old knob still on the post and that will prevent the new knob from being put all the way in. you can just pull the old sleeve out if thats the case hope that helps
97 honda accord manual transmission problem with clutch?
If your clutch master has correct fluid level, and no oil is leaking from the slave cylinder, is there oil coming back through the seal into the car, that is, is there signs of oil on the pushrod from the pedal to the master cylinder, up under the dash? Maybe then you have a problem. Is the return spring on the pedal broken, disconnected or missing? The pedal should always return to the same point. So far as rotors, your car is obviously one where the disc is a part of the wheel hub, not a separate piece as is now done. Thus it is necessary to remove the bearings/ seals from the old, and fit them into the new. This is not usually practical, so it is better to use new bearings and seals, and for "joe Average" home repairer, even this can be a problem. If you are apprenticed to the trade, surely you have someone to help? Master and slave cylinders can be repaired by obtaining rubber kits for them. Still not a job for the inexperienced.
Will too much transmission fluid cause it to not shift?
Depends on what “too much” means. Automatic transmissions already take a large volume of oil. If you checked you transmission fluid first thing in the morning without starting your engine, you would find it way overfilled. Truth be told, that is the time to have the oil so overful. As soon as you start the engine, the transmission begins filling the torque convertor and all the passages in the valve body and case. Check the fluid now(in either park or neutral depending on manufacturer) and it will likely be a half quart low due to the fluid being cold. Once transmission is up to normal temps that half quart low is now right on the full mark.You would need to be quarts over full before it created an issue. Almost impossible to happen. Because it registers so far over full when checked without engine running, someone putting many quarts beyond full is highly unlikely to even happen. A quart over won't hurt anything.Quick way to remove a quart or litre is to open the return cooler line and drain a quart or litre. If you choose to run the engine to speed it up, it won't take much more that 10 seconds.
Honda accord 89 automatic transmission slips when first started?
i have a 1989 honda accord automatic, when cold started, and put into drive, it does not move, when put into reverse, it will move, only when a cold start and the RMPs just sit there and rev, when it warms up after a min, it will move, it does shift rough sometimes, from first to second, what should i be looking for and any ideas are helpful thanks
What are 1st and 2nd gears for on an automatic transmission?
To manually hold the transmission in a gear. It is helpful in towing so you can hold the transmission in a lower gear for more power. Sometimes when a vehicle is heavily loaded, the transmission may hunt for a gear, move back and forth between gears. If you select a lower gear, the transmission will stay in that gear. It is also helpful to drop the transmission into a lower gear to let the engine assist the brakes. This is especially helpful when the vehicle is heavily loaded and going down a step hill. This could help keep the brakes from overheating under these circumstances. Selecting the gears manually does nothing to help in the snow. If you select 2nd gear while starting, the vehicle will still start out in first gear then shift into 2nd as usual. It will not shift into 3rd gear or overdrive when 2nd gear is selected. It is best to just leave it in drive. The only time I change gears in the winter is to sometimes select neutral when approaching a stop sign. This disengages power to the drive wheels and can help with stopping in ice. This is especially helpful with rear wheel drive vehicles but helps with front wheel drive vehicles also. While driving on very slippery roads, I have seen the rear wheels spinning and the front wheels locked. I have been driving in northern Wisconsin winters for many years. For most driving it is best to leave the gear selector in drive. Modern automatic transmissions do a good job at selecting the best gear for load and driving conditions.
What causes no reverse but other gears work in manual transmission?
Either an issue with the shifter mechanism (most likely) which is preventing it from engaging. Try replacing the bushings on the shifter as a simple and cheap first step.Otherwise, it could be internal to the transmission. The reverse idler gear not engaging for some reason. Either the mechanism that engages it is off, or the gears straight cut teeth are worn out from engaging it while the car is in motion.
What is L4 gear????? ?
L4 is one lower than D. You use it when you need a little more power than normal D (like going up a long, but not very steep hill, or going down that hill and breaking with the engine.) It's not a 4WD. You are right, FWD means Front Wheel Drive. If it was a Four Wheel Drive it would say 4WD.
