1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas. When I put into drive will not go into gear unless I give it a little gas then jerks into gear. Then I have no power but hits all gears.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

One a manual shift, not enough clutch clearance or a worn clutch plate. On an automatic, you need to look at fluid levels.

I have a grinding sound in the front of my 1998 mountaineer, also i have my abs light on, and was told i have a bad hub and a bad differential

checking gear oil is not checking for a bad gear or bearing with the hub that will also pop the abs change the hub because if grinding is indeed the hub not long from total failure which can cause accident as well as serious injuries

Hi I'm an owner of a 1998 Honda Oddysey. I would like know the mechanics of using its automatic gear transmissions and specific function. For example when do I use D3 or D2 etc... And how do I shift...

Hi,
Gear usage.
The Drive is for normal driving.
D2 is for hill/steep climbing drive.
D3 is for hill/steep going down drive.
If you have overdrive button, use it when you exceed 60mph.
That's all you have to do when you see roads that is going up nor down.

Thaks for asking FixYa!

Unable to get gears - car just revs in drive.

Standard or Automatic ???
Standard: the clutch is slipping, Automatic: the clutches internal are slipping, did you bother to check the transmission fluid level first ?????

1998 Mercury Mountaineer Transmission issues..

sounds like servo/solenoid problems for those gears run the fault codes or have it inspected and properly diagnosed by an accredited transmission specialist shop
it is running with no reported noises or other problems so at this point it will not need a new transmission
