sorry to say trans is fried.
Consider a used trans from the bone yard
or a rebuilt one.
An independent auto shop is likely to give you a fair price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOURCE: Hyundai i30 Diesel automatic won't accelerate above idle at light

DOES THE ENGINE MIL WARNING LIGHT COME ON? WITH OUT MORE INFO YOU NEED TO CHECK MOTOR ON A CODE READER FOR STORED FAULTS, CHECK ALL AIR LINES TO EMMISION CONTROL, , SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE GONE INTO SAFE MODE, A SPLIT OR LEAKING PIPE ON THE INTERCOOLER IS A COMON FAULT ON THESE, IF YOU SWITCH ENGINE OF AND BACK ON QUICKLY WITH MOTOR RUNNING WITH OUT STALLING MOTOR AND IT CLEARS THEN IT IS PROBERLY THE SAFE MODE CUTING IN MEANING A FAULT HAS BEEN SEEN BY PCM

Testimonial: "Thanks.Didn't notice any engine lights came on. I had a problem free day today, but if it happens again will check warnings and PCM computer check"

Did you check the transmission fluid level? If necessary, add fluid. However you probably have a more serious problem. Take the car to a qualified transmission mechanic.

The hold bottun is basically a downshift button , just a silly gadget. It will not Damage transmission transmission shifting from drive to neutral , but why would you? Drive the car as it was designed. Owners manuals are copy righted , and are only availiable new from dealer . May try amazon.com or something like that. Have seen them in glove boxes at salvage yards if you got some time and a good pair of boots.Good Luck!

Where is the passing gear on a 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante

'Passing gear' is a term that means the transmission is down-shifted to a lower gear (e.g., from 5th gear to 4th gear) for improved acceleration to pass another vehicle. There is no physical component called a passing gear in the transmission.
To engage the 'passing gear' with an automatic transmission should require nothing more than pressing the accelerator pedal down firmly. The transmission should downshift automatically to the next lower gear (sometimes it will downshift two gear ratios, depending on your speed and how far you depress the accelerator pedal).

I installed a 2001 Windstar transmission into a 1999 Windstar. It shifts funny. Do I need to change the PCM or computer to make it shift correctly?

That is a possibility (call a dealer to find out for sure), but the simplest answer may be the throttle kickdown cable, which is common on most vehicles. It monitors throttle position (for instance, to tell the transmission that you just stomped the gas pedal to merge onto the freeway in front of a tractor trailer that is hauling but in your direction, so it needs to shift down quickly for some much needed acceleration). I have solved a few shift point problems by walking through the simple kickdown cable adjustment process, which can take as little as 5 minutes. You probably already checked the fluid level, but check it carefully, per the manual, on level ground, if you weren\'t that picky the first time. Some transmissions are much more sensitive to fluid level than others. All this assumes that the transmission was known to have no issues before you installed it, of course.

2001 jetta automatic transmission does not down shift or shift into overdrive

Once again, not enough information given. How many miles on unit? When you say does not downshift do you mean when you press hard on accelerator pedal, or when you slow down? When you say does not shift into overdrive do you mean high gear or torque converter does not lock? The cars are know for transmission problems and while sometimes you get lucky, usually they require a rebuild or replacement. How often do you replace the fluid and filter?

Having problems with my Automatic transmission Kickdown, when i press the accelerator pedal all the way down, the gears will not shift, and the gears will not kick down going uphill, i have to manuall

Most cars with automatic transmissions have a kick down switch that is sometimes mounted on the transmission but activated by the throttle linkage. A good mechanic should be able to correct this quite easily.

1994 gmc Z71 4x4 automatic.****** will not shift out of 2nd gear.What's up?

Shift modulator on the transmission may be bad, or clogged filter. Maybe time to changed oil and filter. Also a simple adjustment on the trans kickdown cable, or a new cable. The cable can stretch enough to cause a shifting problem.

Cable on top of engine broke on throttle what does it do

Replace the cable with one from your local auto parts store or dealer.
It may be for cruise control if your cruise control no longer works.
Or, it may be for the accelerator pedal.
