The vehicle was making a a whining noise it almost sounded like a bad power steering pump then the vitara shifted fine i test drove it for my mother in law i heard the noise i put the car in reverse and stepped on the accellerator kind of hard the car went back about 10 feet then it started slipping as if there was no fluid could this be the torque converter, the pump or something else......I also noticed that the fluid had a slight oder but not much and didnt look burnt
It is time for a transmission rebuild.

A clutch cable doesn't take much to install. Who told you $600.00?? You don't have to take the trans. loose to do this. All you do is unhook the cable from pedal and unhook if from the trans. This job should only take you an hour if you've never done it before. How long has the clutch been in your car?

There is usually a button behind the brake pedal which does two things.
A. it actuates your brake light
B. It also unlocks the the gear selector
Sometimes they simply need an adjustment usually a 13mm lock nut and advance the switch in small incriments.

AUTOMATIC TRANS DRAIN PLUGS HAVE NOT BEEN USED FOR YEARS, LAST ONE WERE IN THE 60'S, U MUST DROP THE PAN OFF TO CHANGE THE FLUID, A VERY MESSY JOB, I USE AN OLD PLASTIC GARBAGE LID WITH HOLES DRILLED IN THE CENTER TO CTACH THE FLUID. WHEN U REFILL ADD LESS THAN U TAKE OUT AND GET THE TRANS HOT BEFORE U TOP IT OFF, IF U OVERFILL THE TRANS U CAN DAMAGE IT,

some power steering system is computer control. if you disconnect battery the control module have to be program.the control module uses vechicle speed sensor and steering wheel rotation sensor.to operate an actuator in the power steering pump to control pump pressure and steering assistance.

Firstly, check all the bearings that the belt rolls over to make sure that none have seized. If all are free, then your P/S belt may have been loose, and the load when the steering was used was more than the belt could transmit, so it started slipping. Get a new belt fitted and tensioned correctly. From memory, this belt also does the A/C, so maybe try turning that off to reduce the load on the belt until you can get it fixed.
