Hi Guess it is an automatic trans. I would check trans fluid first. Make sure you check the right way. Most have to be in neutral. It will tell you on the stick. If fluid is good, will need torque converter, modular valuve or to be rebuilt. Unless the screen is plugged. Could try getting trans serviced. hope this helps.

first try to assess if you have the right chain-sprocket combination, then the chain lenght and tension.then check your cable tension with the barrel adjuster on the rd and trigger shifter,and if its too tight, it might skip over the other sprockets, and vice-versa.

hey man I had a banshee that did the same thing. My problem was the stator. also check the cdi box and the plug wire. good luck.

As far as reving high, you need carburator adjustment. This may solve the choke problem as well. For the bike kicking into gear by itself, if it is new they will do that until broken in properly but if it is older you need to check the clutch plates as they may be worn and need to be replaced.

Happened to a couple of my cars. Take yours to a transmission shop. There's no quick fix.

First question, is the fob a factory security system, or aftermarket? If it's factory, call a Ford dealer and ask. There is a procedure that has to be followed for it to work. If it's aftermarket, contact the manufacturer.

remove the panel under the steering column. look high on the clutch pedal, it will be on the back side of the pedal(firewall being on the front side of the pedal)

sounds to me like you need to replace your ignition cylinder.\nthats a common problem with chrysler vehicles.

Whoa, no Miss Raven.\n\nA manual gearbox is a transmission that uses a clutch. An automatic transmission utilizes a torque converter.\n\nBasically, a manual transmission requires you to press a clutch everytime you want to interupt power transmission from the engint to the wheels.\n\nAn Automatic requires the engine to rev above the idling RPM in order to build enough hydraulic pressure to move the car.\n\nInteresting fact: an automatic transmission in the 50's never needed to have its fluids changed. Because the fluid used whale fat as the main ingredient. Todays fluids are synthetic and cannot match the same level of performance.

no, it's not stupid.  and can be done.  you will need to change out the tranny though.  a good C6 will bolt up to your 302, and perform very well.  you will have to take your driveline to a reputable driveline shop and have it modified to fit the length of your new engine and tranny combo.  as for your differential, as long as you're not drag racing this thing it should handle the torque and horses nicely.  if what you want is to launch the truck and pull some nice quarter mile times, then yes replace the entire rear end with that of a full size truck, that would take a bit of modification to do.  i would use the ranger's original diff and just be sure that it is full of clean extreme duty gear lube.

Oh man, I really hope that's not true. I drive an old '92, 2 door Toyota Tercel. It used to be red, but it's faded to a horrible pinkish colour, except for the front fender and drivers door, which are bright red from when someone backed into my car. The fenders over the tire wells are sanded down, b/c they were rusted, and now they're sprayed white, and have been that way for months. It chug-a-lugs its way up hills going about 30km/h, and frequently stalls, and sometimes refuses to shift into reverse, which is quite annoying. So I guess that would make me a run down, hunk of junk that has to stop and sit down every few km. Greaaaat. I feel so much better about myself now. lol.

Since the Ford Crown Vic. is still using it (for 2006 and 2007 models) I'll guess Ford is will be one of the last.\n\nhmmm. the Thunderbird is on the same track...uses torque tube to deliver power to the rear differential.\n\nso many cars no longer have the trans-drive-shaft-differential setup that was "conventional" for so many years...hard to think of trans-driveshaft-CV-frontwheels as conventional now-a-days.

you are shifting into a lower gear, it goes  1,2,3,then overdrive to save on gas but has less power, so when you go up a hill it will shift into 3 on its own for more power , when you do that you will use more gas, it makes your motor work a little harder but all in all it causes a little more wear but over a long time ,, just let the car do it on its own.

You need to educate yourself... that drive has a couple of serious shortcomings. If the shift cables are not working perfectly the drive likes to jump out of gear under load which is a $2000+ repair when it happens....\n\ngo here and start reading:\n\nwww.hastings.org/~stuart/cobra/index.html\n\nYour boat's engine is a 2.3 liter Ford - the block and head and internals are similar to 4 cylinder Mustangs of the era....everything else on the engine is marine specific.\n\nGet a manual and learn how to winterize it properly and change points and fuel filters etc...

YES, BUT IT ALSO DEPEND'S ON YOUR SHIFTING RANGE OF THE REAR GEAR'S, TRANSMISSION, AND SHIFTING LIMIT'S OF THE CAR'S ENGINE.\n\nYOU CAN SHIFT AT THOSE RPM'S., BUT YOU MIGHT RUN THE RISK OF BLOWING A SEAL, OR GEAR, OR MAYBE EVEN YOUR TRANNIE AS WELL, ESPECIALLY IF THE GEAR'S OD THE UBOVE MENTIONED ARE NOT SUITED FOR THOSE KIND'S OF SHIFTING CHANGE'S THAT  YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY.\n\nALSO, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK YOUR DRIVETRAIN AS WELL TO SEE IF YOU NEED NEW BUSHING'S FOR THOSE KIND'S OF SPEED'S AND POWER RANGES.
