either your fourth gear control solenoid is bad or trans is going out. ck fluid level and look , smell if burnt trans is bad . have scanned to ck fourth gear solenoid.

This is when you put the shifter to NUETRAL, both shifter. The propeller may turn from where the 2 wheels on ground but it turns freely since the gears inside the transmission is disengaged.

YOU HAVE 1999 VITARA .I DIDNT SEE NO 1997 DIESEL VITARA. YOU HAVE 1.6 OR 2.0 ENGINE.TO GET A TRANSMISSION YOU HAVE 2WD OR 4WD THAT WHAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN TRANSMISSION.

Check your automatic transmission fluid first, see if it is full and or smells burnt. If it is low that could be the problem, but if it smells burnt the transmission is going bad and should go in the shop.

turn the power switch off for the transmission. It is not a warning light. It just indicates the power switch for the trans is on which lets the trans delay shifting in each gear so it allows the engine to get more RPM'S so it produces more HP and Torque.

AUTOMATIC TRANS DRAIN PLUGS HAVE NOT BEEN USED FOR YEARS, LAST ONE WERE IN THE 60'S, U MUST DROP THE PAN OFF TO CHANGE THE FLUID, A VERY MESSY JOB, I USE AN OLD PLASTIC GARBAGE LID WITH HOLES DRILLED IN THE CENTER TO CTACH THE FLUID. WHEN U REFILL ADD LESS THAN U TAKE OUT AND GET THE TRANS HOT BEFORE U TOP IT OFF, IF U OVERFILL THE TRANS U CAN DAMAGE IT,

call a dealer and they will tell you you are suppose to change your transmission fluid every 2 years or 30,000miles but if you was carrying this much load you may have over heated the transmission so I would shop around and get a good deal at a transmission place where they can replace the filter and the fluid and adjust the bands on the transmission if needed

I have 1998 Maruti Esteem Automatic gear car - It works smoothly for 10-15 Kms and afterwards gear not shifting (may be getting heated inside somewhere?) - Recently I changed gear oil also. Any solution???
