What causes a car to not shift gears?

Every time a gear change is required, the car’s computer activates a transmission solenoid, which directs transmission fluid into the valve body to engage the correct gear. When this is faulty or not working properly, this can cause a delay in gear shifting or in some cases cause the car to not shift at all.

What to do when your transmission won’t engage?

Drain the transmission fluid. Remove the transmission fluid pan. Remove the transmission fluid filter, seal assembly and mechatronic unit. Locate the inoperative clutches by applying air pressure into the appropriate clutch port. Apply air pressure to the appropriate clutch port.

This type of problem is amplified any time the transmission is low on fluid creating a drop in hydraulic pressure. This may also suggest a failing speed sensor. The transmission speed sensor is a magnetic sensor that provides this information, allowing the transmission to shift smoothly.

Why does my car drive in reverse but not forward?

The car continued to drive fine but the remote starter would not function. The check engine light went out (remote starter now works) and 2 days later the car would not drive in forward gear. The gear shift will go into all the positions, but the only gear that will engage is the Reverse gear.

How does the transmission work in a Ford Expedition?

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and its input/output network control the following transmission operations: Torque converter clutch operation. The transmission control is separate from the engine control strategy in the powertrain control module, although some of the input signals are shared.

What causes a Ford Expedition to stall at a stop?

Bad Solenoid. When your Ford Expedition stalls at a stop, just as it would if it had a manual transmission and you neglected to push in the clutch, that’s a sign that one of the solenoids is malfunctioning or has gone out.

Why does my Ford Taurus not shift or engage?

But the interesting thing was I found a little known blog that said, disconnect the battery (clear the codes) and the transmission would still kick into gear, even when the transmission fluid was low. Evidently the torque converter, if it doesn’t catch too well or not at all, sends a message somewhere to not try at all.
