My 2001 GMC Jimmy wont accelerate. The RPMs shoot up over 4000 in first gear until finally changing but then shortly after shifting I lose acceleration all together. If I turn the car of and back on again...

Is the check engine light on? See what it says. It may be transmission related. The leaking fluid is probably transmission fluid. If it's really low you'll have a problem.

How do you adjust the shift cable on a 1995 gmc jimmy, wont go into reverse or park.

On the 1995 Jimmy, the shift cable can come loose on the mount on the side of the transmission where the cable meets the trans. When it slips, the alignment goes off and causes the driver to not be able to put the trans into park. If you take a long stick you can push the shift arm on the trans to the park position and your trans will go into park.....what you (and I) really need to know is how to take the shift cable mount apart and reset it.

I have a 1998 GMC Jimmy and i just put a new engine and transmission in and everything runs fine but the Console shifter will not shift out of Park....I can take the linkage off at the transmission and it...

there may be another nut along the line into the cab/ at the shifter that is diconnected or frozen, i had an old oldsmobile that i got stuck at the gas station cause the bolt came out. simple fix, but sucked doing it at the gas station lol
