My 2000 Ford 1.6 lt. Laser Automatic; at around 60 km/h speed, suddenly Gear changes back to a very low gear (engine rev goes up to 4000-5000 rpm) and goes back to normal in few seconds. runs normal at high speed 100 km/h.

    Thank you! It was the TPS. I've changed the TPS today. When I check the TPS with the multimeter, found a blank area about 10-20 degrees (no resistance) within idle and full throttle. It's running perfect after change the TPS.

SOURCE: automatic transmission. after starting

hi there, no you are not going to need a new transmission. what is happening is probably one or two things. the transmission fluid is low or the transmission control solenoid is acting up. good luck and appreciate your question

SOURCE: high revs

being a fuel injected engine , there are many reasons this could be happening.
from the top , lets check the Manifold Absolute Pressure (M.A.P.) sensor , as it is easiest.
Find the MAP sensor , it has a couple a wires and a vacuum tube going to it and is on the firewall or fender support under the bonnet.
Disconnect the wire harness from it (small plug with wires).
If the engines RPMs drop to normal , replace the MAP sensor.

SOURCE: Auto transmission problem

your bands may need adjusting or the transmission needs to be serviced to find out if it is something more serious

Ford falcon 2002 4Lt motor, won't rev out only reaches 60 km speed , after 300 meters it runs fine till stopped , then same things happen , hot or cold same thing , no check engine light or codes .

no country told , matters! for sure no USA. KM speeds tell that. GUESS Australia????
down under IRON./? or the exported Austrilia to Africa.???

won't rev out (means RPM limited,means low power from engine. so means engine power is lost.
and NOT:
not transmission slip. (none told A/T or stick?)
good post, lots of causes for any kind of engine power loss
I will not pretend to guess it but in terms of physics yes.
engine has mech problem , cam belt slipping then changing back.
engine low power.
does 4LT mean 5liter engine, or 4L +LT MODEL CAR
The BA sub model falcon? IDK
wiki says

seems there are 3 engines used, day1 sold,
gas Petrol
turbo petrol (gasoline)
and LPG (propane) gas.

deep wiki' me.
182 is 6 cylinder DOHC cam engine with pesky VVT valve timing
chain drive cam +VVT
VVT can stick so there is my first physics IDEA on engine problems.
or stick head valve.

the classic list, (means what is tested in order.) using tools.
1: good engine, means all tests pass,and VVT'
2:good spark ever do a tune up in 20 long years,spark + filters.
3: bad fuel, or bad fueling rates. , fuel pump on lasts legs. sure.
4: egr struck open ,even random they do.
5:;random bad wiring to all that.

that is my best, 12,000 miles away and blind, cant see car engine or transmission there.

Ford 3.2 diesel acceleration drop off to an idle speed when pulling hill in M1 gear - I stop vehicle on hill shift to park and back to M1 it throttles as nothing wrong. later does this again.

the rpm limiter will pull back the rpm to limp mode
select low range 1st gear or if automatic select manual 1st gear That will allow higher rpm at low speed

I have a 2009 VW Crafter loon wheelbase mini bus with gearbox problems. I believe it has an 'HQT' model box. It revs at 3,000RPM at 62 MPH. Is there a higher ratio gearbox that can be fitted.

check around gear box repair shops to see if there is a replacement box that has an overdrive gear (5th)
if it is an automatic , the problem may be that overdrive is not coming in and that will drop the rpm 250 rpm and increase the speed up to the 75 mph mark
there is nothing wrong in the box as the rpm and the speed are about right in relation to the diff ratio(not mentioned )
3200 rpm with a overdrive manual runs around 74 mph or 120 km/hr
another method is to put a diff in with a taller ratio
example --current 4.1 back to 3.2

My mazda drifter 2.5 D don't rev over 3000 rpm and don't go over 120 km when its in 5th gear,its like limiting.What can it be it never did it?

When you rev the engine and does not go over 3000 rpm is this in neutral or when driving in gear? Some vehicles have a rev limiter to not allow rpm over certain point when in neutral gear but is typically not limited when driving vehicle. This sounds like a very low rev limit but not abnormal if you can get engine to rev higher when driving. You call a drifter so truck must be non US market. Is this engine a 2.5 liter diesel 4 cylinder motor. Might just be your top rev and speed if this is the case.

Does the driving on overdrive mode cause high fuel consumption, because the transmission use the first three ratios mostly?

driving in over drive mode actually is what gives the economy as the engine rpms will be around 300 less than direct drive . Lower rpms = fuel savings
OD should come in around 60 klm/hr and drop out at around 50 klm/hr. When you are accelerating hold the pedal in a set position and watch the rev counter (rpms ) and each gear change you will see the rpms drop and then build back up as the vehicle speed increases At 100klm/hr the revs should be around 3200 rpms or less but if over ( say 3500 rpms) then may be the OD is not coming in. One way to test a box operation is to find a speed shop with a dynomometer and test the gear selections against loads and engine rpms

DEFINITE LURCH IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR,

This may apply. ...............................

Carry out the adaptation drive cycle road test:

Note: This process must be carried out in normal mode (not sports mode). On a flat road, the transmission fluid temperature must be above 60° C (140° f) and below 100° C (212° f) (vehicle at normal operating temperature will ensure that the transmission fluid temperature is above 60° C (140° f)).
9. Accelerate from rest with light throttle (do not exceed the upper rev limit in appendix 1). 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 shifts must occur with engine speed between the following limits:.
Note: Do not move the accelerator pedal during shifts.

• 3.0L VIN ALL 1800 - 2000 rpm
• 4.2L N/A Prior VIN M96321 1450 - 1600 rpm
• 4.2L N/A From VIN M963221550 - 1700 rpm

10. Continue to accelerate gently to 50 mph (80 km/h) so that transmission shifts into 5th gear.
11. Go into overrun and let the transmission shift down into 4th gear without braking.
12. Brake gently to a standstill and hold footbrake on for at least 15 seconds.
13. This process should be carried out at least five times.

I have a jetta 2000 ... 2.0 am facing problems with my speedometer which is suddenly indicating 240 km then going back to normal speed, once i press hard on the gas when ever the indicator reach max speed...

Change the Engine speed sensor. This can sometime cause your dash to do all sorts of weird things when they fail, such as setting the low fuel warning off as well. strange but true ! good luck

Why wont my 2001 gmc sierra 2500hd go into 4th gear?

There is a speed/shift sensor you could change, but if you haven't changed the fuel filter in a while, i'd go there first. Sometimes, in fact, often, plugged fuel filters can cause the engine to starve for fuel, and make it seem like the transmission is the problem.
