1 answer · Top answer: Hello and thank you for using just answer! The check engine light is on correct?
Is this an automatic or manual transmission? When was the last time you changed the filter if it's an automatic? You may have a valve body problem too.
There's usually a dipstick similar to the oil dipstick. It's not as easy to find and down on the transaxle somewhere. Your user manual will tell you when to check it.
Unlike engine oil, transmission fluid often needs to be checked after the vehicles warms up, after the shift lever has been shifted through all the gears (you don't necessarily have to go anywhere) and while the engine is running with the shift lever in park.
But sometimes the instructions are different. Check your manual. It probably also shows a drawing of the engine showing where the dipstick is located.
check the clutch operation especially the m/cylinder for failure. The fluid and the master cyl. is probably not disengaging the clutch enough. the rears will not necessarily grate as the synchros are working overtime to spin the gears for alignment because the clutch shaft is still moving under power from the engine.
0700 - Trans. control system malfunction0732 - incorrect gear ration 2 could possibly be the PCM or ECM but most likely it time to look at a rebuild. Take it to a trans. shop and they can give you a good diagnosis.
the engine tickover is too slow when the engine is cold its running on cold start, ie:choke,, after it warms up the engine slows down this is what is causing it to stall in gear,, get some one to hold the brakes hard on and with the engine running in gear ajust the tick over till its reving at 750 - 850 rpm the revs will go up a bit when its out of gear,, before you pick a gear to go into push the foot brake down to stop the car lurching,,,
the neutral safty switch tells the comp. what gear is in. when its not working the light wont move and the car will not go threw the gears prop. the switch is nown to go out. it is located on the tranny or down under the shifter
