Recently i have noticed that my car does not want to shift into reverse very easily. There would be a little hesitation and then it would shift. Now I am experiencing trouble getting the car to move in reverse if the car is pointing down hill slightly. Is there a simple solution? Nothing has been done to the transmission in at least 5 years.
Assuming this is an automatic transmission, odds are you have lost a band in your transmission, this will require a rebuild, you may also notice it will fail to shift into high gear as well?
SOURCE: Hard down shifts
Check the transmission fluid level, see if there is any foaming in the fluid which is bad, and condition, If the fluid is low the transmission fluid pressure could be low and if the transmission fluid filter is dirty, that could also be restricted the fluid flow.
The transmission fluid should be bright red like strawberry in colour, if it's dark like burgundy then it's time to change the transmission oil and filter. The hard down shifting could be a servo that is sticking caused by dirt in the fluid, have a Transmission shop service the transmission and scan the car's ECM for any codes that may be causing your shifting problem.
Good luck and hope this helps.
SOURCE: Clanking noise when in park, louder with ac turned on
Pull the engine accessory drive belt off and check the pulley bearing and the nose of the water pump and AC compressor for play, this may be the AC compressor pulley bearing or the water pump pulley bearing
SOURCE: car feels slugish when going up-hill, slight
problems you described would suggest you need to replace the spark plugs, a bad one tends to fail under loads like going up hill. the other thing you could try is to get a better fuel grade, that would correct pinging noises uphill. and throw in some fuel injector cleaner every 2000km, it makes a happy running engine
Check out also G401 which is located in the chassis harness, mounted to the left rear Body mount. This ground point is shared by the rear lamps like the brakes, reverse, and rear signal lamps.88 views
