Hi, You assisted me before on the same vehicle. I installed my new transmission system and have been driving it for a couple of month now. The issue is a Vibration when I first release the clutch in 1st and also in Reverse. I have installed a complete new Transmission system on my 1995 Chevy S-10, 4.3L, 5-Speed truck. (new transmission, new flywheel, new clutch and clutch plate, new Master and Slave Cylinders.) Have bleed the system to the point I get great shifting and all. However, my problem is in first gear and reverse. When I release the clutch, I can feel a slight vibration as if the clutch and clutch plate are not in sync. The vibration is more of a jerking issue like the clutch is not engaging flat against the clutch plate. I I get the same vibration in reverse. It's not a smooth "transition," At the same time, while in idle, it feels like the clutch and clutch plate are not balanced. Feels like the system is "out-of-round." Also, when I place my foot on the clutch pedal, I can actually feel the rotation of the clutch/clutch plate... All other shifting is normal. It's very annoying. Any suggestions/ideas would be helpful???

The last time I felt vibration in the pedal like that I had a broken clutch finger. I would hate to tell you to take it all out again only to find no broken fingers. I've also seen vibration from improper mating of the friction disc and flywheel. It'll wear on the inside of the flywheel before it wears on the outside and thus you feel that as a vibration. But, it is most likely the clutch plate isn't balanced right. Just to be sure, take a look at the harmonic balancer to make sure it is still one piece and the rubber isn't coming out. It can dampen out most vibrations like this but can only do so much. But, if it is compromised in some way, even small vibrations can get through. Also, did you install a new pilot bushing when you did the clutch? Fixya is discontinuing this service soon and they say they have plans to come up with something new. I'm not supposed to share contact information here per terms of service, but there is no reason you can't Google 'ZX2Fast' now is there? If you need more help and can't get to me from here, just Google me and I'm sure you can find some way of asking for help. Oh yeah, you should also inspect all of your engine and transmission mounts. You would feel vibration if you have a broken mount and the engine/transmission was resting against metal.

93 Nissan altima, high pitched whirring noise upon starting the vehicle. Continues when clutch engaged and driving. Just replaced a part which when you press the clutch down it connects to a cylinder...

hi,,

sounds like you had your clutch slave replaced. also I see that you said it doesnt make noise when you push the clutch to the floor, so usually thats the throw out bearing, its inside the transmission. the transmission has to come apart from the engine. the check engine light could be either from the transmission getting a fault, or the oil inside the cap is causing an electrical issue. so you need a throw out bearing and a new distributor. stanzas good for a couple more trips and thats it.

Gearbox Problems

automatic transmissions used by VW in the /Jetta have had a history of hard shifts at first startafter sitting a while.

There have been a number of software updates to improve the situation with the shifting especially to reduce the hesitation engagement. Sometimes the issue can also be a slightly low fluid level in the transmission; in any case, the transmission should have the software and fluid level checked to make sure that they are both up to snuff.

My suggestion is to take it to another dealership for a look; if they refuse to help you, contact the VW consumer affairs people at the 800 number located in your book. Ask to have the local District Service Manager and local engineering tech specialist meet with you at the dealership and be prepared to demostrate your issue with the vehicle.
If this means parking the vehicle outside the dealership overnight, then so be it. You have to be able to prove the situation to them; if they tell you its "normal," have the dealership provide you with a like type vehicle with the same engine and transmission as your own vehicle and drive it for a couple days to see if it acts just like your car.

I have a 1998 Chevrolet Lumina and it was sitting for about a couple of months and I live in Michigan and experiencing very cold below zero temps...I had replaced the battery with a new one and it started...

if the starter cranks but the engine does not turn on, then you have a problem with the V.A.T.S. system (V.A.T.S. = Vehicle Anti Theft System) if starter is not working then re-check battery first, then take alternator to local parts store, they have alternator bench testers, if alternator is o.k. your starter is faulty. alternators should produce bout 12.75 volts to 14.5 volts, amperage varies on alt. types

I HAVE A 2002, 4-WHEEL DRIVE, TOYOTA TUNDRA PICK-UP TRUCK. IT HAS A 4-WHEEL DRIVE PROBLEM. RECENTLY I USED THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE, IN HI-GEAR. IT PERFORMED GREAT. WHEN I DEPRESSED TO BUTTON ON THE DASH TO...

I was researching the recalls for the 2002 tundra and havent found any recall pertaining to the 4whl drive. Sometimes when people have their 4wheel drive locked in and drive on pavement for any length of time, whether it be just a couple of feet or a couple of miles, over time it creates a binding of the gears in your transfer case. Once the bind is so great, the engaging and disengaging starts malfunctioning and leads to bigger problems overall. I could be wrong about this being the problem that you have but I think its something to look into. It wouldnt hurt to put your vehicle up off all fours and release the bind if any by running through the gears while in 2 and rour wheel drive while all four tires can move freely and release. See if that works for you. Check your gear oil front , center and rear and use much caution when attempting this suggestion. Also refer to your owners manual troubleshooting section for other possibilities. Merry Christmas. By the way, the electrical switch should be covered in the troubleshooting section also.

Describe Sir I already bought a new TOYOTA TUNDRA from united state of America from camelback Toyota scion 1333 east camelback *phoenix, AZ 85014 (www.camelbacktoyota.com) and shipped it to STATE OF QATAR....

I haven't any reason to disbelieve the Qatar agent when he or she says that that any car purchased outside of the Qatar will not be under warranty. GMC is not the same as Toyota, I guess.

The Toyota Tundra is an excellent vehicle, and I'm sure that if you do the regular service on it then it will last a long time. However, there's the issue of whether it's under warranty in case anything goes wrong with it.

I guess it's one of those things that one might encounter in international business with warranties and such.

I never thought about that issue as being an issue, but apparently that's what they told you.

COVERAGES Every Toyota Car, Truck and SUV is built to exceptional standards. And that's not idle boasting. We back it up with these Limited Warranty Coverages: Basic 36 months/36,000 miles (whichever comes first) (all components other than normal wear and maintenance items). Powertrain 60 months/60,000 miles (whichever comes first) (engine, transmission/transaxle, front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, seatbelts and airbags). Rust-Through 60 months/unlimited miles (corrosion perforation of sheet metal). Emissions Coverages vary under Federal and California regulations. Refer to applicable Owner's Warranty Information booklet for details. Accessories For accessories purchased at time of the new vehicle purchase, the Toyota Accessory Warranty coverage is in effect for 36 months or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first) from the vehicle's in-service date, which is the same coverage as the Basic coverage of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

For dealer-installed accessories purchased after the new vehicle purchase, the coverage is 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever comes first) from the date the accessory was installed on the vehicle, or the remainder of the above 36 months or 36,000 miles Basic coverage from the vehicle's in-service date, whichever provides greater coverage, with the exception of car covers. Car covers are warranted for 12 months from the date of purchase and do not assume any coverage under the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

For customer (non-dealer)-installed accessories purchased after the new vehicle purchase, the coverage is 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever comes first), from the purchase date of the accessory.

You may be eligible for transportation assistance if it's necessary that your vehicle be kept overnight for repairs covered under warranty. Please see your authorized Toyota dealership for further details. Hybrid-Related Component Coverage Hybrid-related components for hybrid vehicles are covered for 8 years/100,000 miles. The HV battery may have longer coverage under emissions warranty. Refer to applicable Owner's Warranty Information booklet for details. For complete details about Toyota's warranties, please refer to the applicable Owner's Warranty Information booklet or see your Toyota dealer. ---
The above warranties are just 'limited' warranties which may not be honored internationally, especially when the dealer in Qatar tells you that they will not honor it.

The end of the above tells you to see your Toyota dealer and that's what you did. Maybe you could argue your case with a district or regional manager, but I think that it probably will be difficult to find free service in your country.

That means that you will have to pay for any service that your vehicle requires, rather than getting it free or covered under the 'limited' warranty.

I wish you luck, however, in obtaining warranty service for your Toyota vehicle, over there.

After 200 to 400 Kms of highway driving transmission doesn't shift properly. then you park or leave it over night it seems fine until you put another couple 100 kms maybe it gets hot

Hi CamI hate to say it but there is a good chance one of the gears inside the transmission/transaxle is having an issue... You can see if a transmission fluid change will resolve this issue for you however I have similar issues with my transmission and after about 2000km for me i have the same issue. In this case my transmission is at this point damaged it works and will continue to work but it isn't great on the car or for the drive.
With the price of the vehicle dropping you could look for a junk car which still has its transmission (ensure same make and model) and put that into your vehicle but to be honest the cost of the installation and replacement isn't worth it.

1998 Mercury Mountaineer Transmission issues..

sounds like servo/solenoid problems for those gears run the fault codes or have it inspected and properly diagnosed by an accredited transmission specialist shop
it is running with no reported noises or other problems so at this point it will not need a new transmission
