Why is my transmission stiff?
Hard shifting with manual transmission usually has to do with a problem in the gear system or with the clutch. Either one of the parts of the gear system is damaged or it is just completely worn out from too much use. Below are five of the most common causes of a manual transmission being hard to shift gears.
How do I know if my transmission or transfer case is bad?
Here we look at some of the more common signs you may find when you have a bad transfer case:
- Shifting Issues.
- Hard to stay in 4WD?
- 4WD Won’t Engage or Disengage.
- Fluid Puddle Under the Transfer Case’s Location.
- Strange Grinding, Growling or Humming Noises.
- Possible Causes of a Bad Transfer Case.
- So why S&G?
Why do I not have a transmission warning light?
Other problems, such as harsh or erratic shifting, not shifting from first gear automatically or transmission fluid that appears dark or smells burnt are problems that do not require a transmission warning light to tell you that there is a problem.
What does it mean when your transmission won’t shift?
The pop you heard was most likely a mechanical failure in which a mount or internal gear may have broken or seized. If nothing seems broken, twisted, bent, or leaking underneath your truck, your best bet is to get the error codes causing your check engine light scanned asap. Good luck, transmission failures are never fun and rarely cheap.
Why is my 4 wheel drive light not engaging?
If you don’t shift it into neutral, the 4wd light will continue to flash and won’t get into gear. Seems to be a common occurrence on these trucks. Dodge dealers recommend engaging 4-lo, then back in 2-wheel drive, then back in 4-wheel drive hi (4H). This sequence apparently resolves the problem.
When does the check transmission light come on?
As of 2012, most new vehicles have a warning light that lets you know of transmission problems before they become a major expense.
