Hi! My name is AutoDoc1. What’s your name? I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your vehicle but 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. Sometimes I have to look up some information so it may take a moment to respond. I appreciate your patience. 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. If the fluids weren't being serviced then your transmission is likely damaged but of course it would need to be tested to be sure. This will be done by performing a pressure test on the transmission. As far as whether or not it's worth it, that would be up to you. I say if you love the vehicle then it's probably worth fixing. If not, then you may need to look for something else. I would still have it tested to see what part of the transmission is the problem though as it may be something inexpensive to fix. Typically if it won't shift out of gear it's a valve body problem.

Hi Emma, nice to meet you. If the fluids weren't being serviced then your transmission is likely damaged but of course it would need to be tested to be sure. This will be done by performing a pressure test on the transmission. As far as whether or not it's worth it, that would be up to you. I say if you love the vehicle then it's probably worth fixing.

It shifts when driving drive like in second gear very slow when going down a hill car speeds up but up a hill drives slowI hear something about a transmission switch sounds like something it is

A switch wouldn't cause this problem. It sounds like there may be an engine problem, clogged exhaust, or fuel issue. Are you able to have it tested?

No I tried to put née terminals on the battery now the battery died need charging

Ok then your alternator may be faulty. Check the voltage on the battery with the engine running. It should be at least 12.9 volts.

Well I need help getting it started the terminals I put in are loose and I can't get them to fasten close

Ok then you'll need to get someone to help you out. Perhaps there's a local mobile mechanic that can come out and tighten them for you.

Trying

Ok sounds good.
