SOURCE: 2000 blazer shifts fine 1-3 gears , wont go into

OK, let me remember..........the code 753 means the solenoid INSIDE the tranny pan is bad. You don't have 1st or 4th gear, is what I was told, however, you probably WON'T even notice. I didn't. If you are at a stop, and get on it hard, you should be able to tell. If you drive normal, like me, and just accelerate gradually, you would not be able to tell that the truck is not hitting the 1st and 4th gear. You may not recognize a problem, just the check engine light. Your going to have to drop the tranny pan, replace the solenoid, and reinstall the fluid and the pan. The hardest part is, upon dropping the pan, if you don't know what you are doing, you can damage the other solenoids, and if you don't damage any, you may still have a hard time realizing which solenoid is the right one. It would take 1hour at, plus tranny pan gasket and fluid, etc., etc., for a total of about $120. Most transmission shop charge $100 for a transmission oil and filter service. The solenoid was about $20. It is not hard to replace, just unclip the wire harness and solenoid which will be an extra 5 min to the service time.

SOURCE: I have a 1997 Kia Sportage (#KNAJA5278VA787759).

I had a simular problem.
Ended up changing the themastat and the gears changed into overdrive when the temp. got to normal running.
Be carefull that you get right thermastat though. You want one that reaches the normal working Temp as soon as possable.
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Mercury Mountaineer transmission is allowing 1st 3

This problem is likely caused by a failed clutch pack or low fluid pressure due to a internal leak. The bottom line here is that you will need transmission pressure gauges hooked up and then road test performed. Also you will need to test the system for fault codes. I think based on the symptoms you will need to replace or rebuild the transmission.

2007 Kia Rio lx, transmission not shifting, no 4th or overdrive, does this car have a transmission computer

Maybe dirty sticking parts. Does fluid on stick look dirty or smell burnt ? Try tranny cleaner like Seafoam Tranny Tune. After driving with that about 1/2-1 hr, get tranny fluid changed. Filter inside likely fine. So if issue getting pan gasket, a place that does flush via dip stick tube will do.

I have a 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT Automatic Not Shifting.

You are going to cost yourself more money by trying to drive it like this.
Go to an Autozone, Advance, or Oreilys autoparts and get a free scan. Ask for the Code numbers. Most lkely they will tell you what you need to fix it.

You are not only not in overdrive, but probably in 3rd gear. You need to be in 4th or 5th before the Overdrive is suppose to work. Overdrive will not work in the lower gears. AT 60mph you should be at half the RPM that you are trying to run at.

Do not exceed 2200 RPM. Have the Brakes checked if the autoparts store can not scan the brake system. The cheaper scanners do not have that function.

If you can not repair it from what the parts store tells you, contact us again with the Code numbers. Some Codes are for professionals, they help with pricing a repair by you so you can ask for a price to install this or that.

Some repairs are owner friendly, bolt-on and finished. Have store wipe memory after all repairs are done.

2001 Kia Sephia automatic trans seems to be stuck in second gear, when manually shifted into first, starts off perfectly fine. When in drive, very sluggish on the take-off and does not shift out of the...

Alot of people have the same problem, including me. Changing the transmission fluid is not going to help this problem. THe transmission filter is not something you change as much as you clean and reinstall, its just a metal screen. Call Kia and ask for an "OVERDRIVE SHIFT SOLENOID" they will need the last 8 digits of your VIN, vehicle identification number, to locate your part. I am in the process of changing mine. The part number should be something like 46313-39051. That number is for a 2001 Kia Optima, with the 4 cylinder. There are three shift solenoids bolted to the bottom of your transmission should. I'll let you know what the difficulty level when I am finished.

Transmission problems

This is what my 04 Kia Rio is doing exactly. I was told that the TCM and Shift Solenoid "C" is faulty. Am trying to figure out how to go about fixing that without paying more than the car is worth. My tech checked with the local Kia dealership and the TCM new is I think around $700. You also have to buy the program to tell this high dollar part what to do and that is right at $100. I have found that sometimes if I let the car warm up and then keep hitting the overdrive button, eventually it starts shifting correctly.
