Hi! My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be able to assist you. I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your vehicle. Don’t worry though, we’ll be able to figure this out. Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities so I may need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem. With most newer automobiles, they have sophisticated electrical systems that can rely on different computers or modules to keep everything operating correctly. Most of the time specialized equipment is needed to test these systems. If you do not have this type of equipment for testing then we can only guess what the problem is. Yes there are common failures for certain symptoms but without testing, there’s no way to determine the specific problem unless testing is done. Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with today? My goal is to give you the best service possible and to help you. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Sometimes it may take a moment for me to respond because I may have to look up information about your concern. I appreciate your patience and will provide responses as soon as possible. The system will give you an automated phone call offer to speak to one of us on the phone **. It is optional.** Some folks prefer to talk on the phone. If you don’t, please ignore it as I cannot control the offer from popping up. First check the shift cable to make sure it's not broken. If it's good then check the shift arm on the transmission to make sure it's moving when you actually shift it. If it does then there's an internal transmission problem. It's either a valve body problem or mechanical linkage problem from the shift arm. You'll have to take the pan off to see where the problem is. My goal is to earn a 5 star rating experience. Any questions you have about this concern, please feel free to reply back to me. If I’m not online at the time, I will respond ASAP when I get back.

Misfiring issue. How do I fix this?
If the car is misfiring then it will generate a code on the computer. I would have a mechanic pull the codes (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/engine-is-misfiring-inspection) to determine where the problem is coming from. A misfire can be caused by a bad coil...

why does my car hesitate when I hit the gas and also it has been tested on a computer and all of the oxygen sensors drop to zero
Hello, thank you for writing in. When the oxygen sensors (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/oxygen-sensor-replacement) read low voltages, the computer thinks the engine is running lean (less fuel than normal) and will try to compensate for it. In doing this, the computer will send...

Hi there - planetary gearsets (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/understanding-main-gears-vs-planetary-gears) are used to reduce revolutions per minute, and increase the torque available. They are not directly involved in gear changes per se, but a broken planetary gearset will certainly cause a shift to fail...
