This is why you have to keep up on regular fluid changes and maintenance. Noticing these things and getting them fixed before it gets to this Is really important
yes! lol thats why I made the video ha ha i messed up big time and it cost me for not checking I got too busy! please subscribe!! -cheers
Many years ago I drove a 1988 Chevy 4x4 with no reverse for almost a year lol. Always parked on a hill 😉
Ha ha wow! Amazing. I think the torc converter in there transmission was bad. Hence no reverse. However they rebuilt the whole transmission $2500.
Make sure your parking brake works!
Ha I did that as well. I had a comealong in the trunk just in case I needed to pull it backwards in an emergency
Thanks for the clues to what to look for!
Your welcome bone daddy thanks for checking out my channel!
For these trucks always look at the positive side, if it's leaking oil it's got oil 😂
Ha ha I had my tahoe for over 20 years. Very few serious issues. 1997 was a quality year for chevy trucks. However age can dry out seals and hoses on any car. Lol pt cruiser is my other car everything in that car is broken after 13 years. Ha ha everything electrical breaks on Chrysler cars. Thanks for watching.

I've had a lot of vehicles like that... The thing you wanted to look out for was when the leaking stopped. That was bad. There was no other reason for it to stop leaking other than it was out of oil. No amount of replacing seals on certain British engines will help, it leaks because it was built that way
I got a 1996 Chevy with the 4l60e when I start it runs drive shifts fine but when every thing warms up it won’t come out of park it will but rolls slowly I took trans pan off to replace filter and solinoid and I had what looked like pencil led in the pan and some metal shavings am I fucked?
It’s not as much about lubing the gears it’s more about pressure from the pump that sound you hear is the pump starving for fluid. As you increase engine rpms that spins the pump faster building pressure and the TCM uses that pressure by opening and closing solenoids for the 1-2 shift 2-3 shift and 3-4 shift if there’s no pressure you get no gear engagement
Yes very true Ryan !! Thanks that also explain saybtheres a burning smell even in park
I have the same issue with 2002 camaro. I always do oil changes at 3k miles and just assumed Wal-Mart was keeping a eye on ally fluids. BAD idea to do something like that. My trans got low on fluid and quit pulling in reverse. I flipped it around and drove back into my drive way. Checked the fluid and it was low. Went got a quart I stored from another truck I had and poured it in and as i did that I noticed it was burnt fluid. So i parked my car. Went and got all new fluid and filter and did a complete change. Well the problem is still there and you can hear the pump winning as well. I did take the car down the road to test it out. The only way ot shifts is to let off the gas and apply it again. It only gets up to about 50 mph and at 2000-2500 RPM. The reverse still doesn't work either. I just parked my car. Is there anyway to het the pump primed back up or is the pump toast? My car only has 87k miles on her. Thanks for any information.
@@bbay1977 if you still hear that noise add more fluid the noise should go away and it should go into gear easy. You probably still don’t have enough fluid. Is this car a automatic if so the torque converter can hold lots of fluid just keep adding of you got your cars manual be best to look how much fluid the transmission takes. Once you have enough the pump should be silent and gear engagement should be smooth
@@ryans413 I filled it up to the full area and even drove it down the road and back. The level is still showing full. The car was up to temp, so I assumed the transmission was also up to temp.
So you are saying just keep adding fluid till it quits whining? It is a automatic trans. I didn't drain the torque converter. Just a pan drop service.
@@bbay1977 Do you have all gear engagement now including reverse if so the fluids helping and the pump is probably going out hate to say this but the pump will have to be replaced.
Had you repaired the transmission gears just yet? Please lemme know. Subscribed.
Hey anggie no I haven't yet. It's going to be about $2,500 thanks for subscribing
Wow
@@drewsquickfix I see..
Perhaps it's better that way though.
Nice contents you had anyway.
Keep on posting.
@@AnggieHarygustia thanks I just posted a video live yesterday that could help you a lot about a car not starting
This happened to me and wasn’t able to go into park. Had to pull some fuses and battery to shut it off. Hopefully I can change gears after filling it up.
Hey cameron! Yeah It sucks.... Lol I feel like i lost a friend ha ha had that tahoe for 20 years. I don't want to pay to have it repaired because I don't drive it much. Most rebuilt transmissions eventually fail and only have a 1 year warranty. Easy way to throw away $3000 if you don't drive it everyday. You wouldn't know if there's still an issue either. So it's just gonna sit for a while. I may sell it or restore it eventually since 2 door Tahoe are becoming rare. I hope you can resolve your issue but sometimes cost wise it's better to just get another car depending on the shaoe.of your interior and paint. If those are still good it may be worth repairing the transmission. Thanks for watching! Good luck!
Hopefully you used the e brake!! That prevents the car from going forward. No park wow that's a tiff one dangerous too.
Just finished with putting the gasket on my valve cover (first time) and i didn't tighten the bolt enough. And of course, there's leakage. Lol. Worked on it again and it worked out fine. Still checkin' it though. But damn, i haven't checked the trans oil in a while. Thanks for reminding me.
Yeah I really blew it on this one. I need to fill the trans all the way. Didn't have a whole bottle. Keeping my fingers crossed of I fill it up it may work again
@@drewsquickfix trans is not workin'? Oh man, if you get it fixed, you might as well keep driving it because you paid too much. And it wouldn't be worth much if you sell it with a bad trans. It's really up to you. Sentimental value vs not over spending.
Yeah I'm gonna try to see if it works with more fluid. Check trucks have strong transmissions. If not yeah ill just put it in the graveyard for a while and run it once a month. Engine is in great shape 186,000 miles. 2 door tahoes are very collectable so it will be worth something 1 day. Inside its got a few leaks so the roof is sagging . Interior will need a redo
Hey AR, I'm gonna try to post soon. Lol my phone data is full from pictures and videos of real estate since I just got my real estate license in NC. So I've slowed down on the video making especially since the tahoe transmission broke. Im gonna try to get some more videos going. Its been too long. If you know anyone that wants beach real estate in wilmington nc let me know. Lol pretty cheap compared to California beachfront
How long did you wait for the fluid to sit inside before you started to wet the gears? I’m currently adding in some Lucas “stop slippage” product and just letting it sit for a bit. It’s still got a check engine light. Not sure if I take it for a drive or just shut it off before I can come up with a result.
Hey Carleton, i never fisxed the transmission. I thinknit burned out when I drove it with no fluid. My Mercedes diesel worked after it ran out if fluid and I put some in but not in this case. Thanks for watching. Good luck! Please subscribe !
@@drewsquickfix well thanks for your honesty throughout the video and the response! I definitely gave it a like and a subscribed for that matter!
@@carleontafari thanks!
Try taking it to a auto parts store for a check engine light read. Might not be the transmission causing the light if it still drives
Gotta a 04 civic that has an issue where it wouldn’t move in any gear, just felt like it was in neutral but then randomly started to go into gear and worked fine for about a week, didn’t slip when I tested it down the road, drove fine. It worked like this for a week and then the issue came back, turned off the car when the issue came back, started the car back up after 10 seconds and the car went into gear fine. After testing the car for about 3 weeks it’s seems as if there is a 50/50 chance of the car moving but when the car engages drive or reverse it seems to work fine. Transmission has also developed a whining noise and occasionally the drive light blinks when shifting from drive into neutral. I suspect an issue with the transmission pump and intend to bring it to a shop but after watching this was curious as to if anyone has some advice on other possible issues and whether I should start looking for a good used transmission?
I'm not a mechanic but make sure it has fluid and it's not leaking. That's the #1 cause if transmission failure leakage and driving with no fluid! Please subscribe!!
@@drewsquickfix Thanks for the advice and I will definitely subscribe but the fluid is the first thing I checked, even took it upon myself to do a fluid change In hopes it may lead to some improvement and buy me some time and it did seem to help a bit but in terms of the vehicle feeling like it’s in neutral and not moving it didn’t do much. Vehicle almost always goes into gear and works fine right after start and I’ve noticed the whining noise goes away after about 10 minutes of idle. Due to the fact the transmission itself seems to shift ok until the car randomly stops moving the fluid pump would be my best guess but I can’t say for sure so if I decide to repair the car I’ll probably buy a junkyard transmission with low miles as my car is higher mileage and Hondas automatic transmission are known to be problematic with higher mileage.
How did this issue get resolved? I have an 01 civic doing EXACTLY the same things
So I have a PT Cruiser, I was told that my transmission had been leaking from a mechanic at JiffyLube….he told me it wasn’t urgent so I went on for a month or two. Then I got the mysterious thud and pulled over right away, the oil didn’t seem too dirty but it is definitely low. I am going to try putting the thick jelly lube mixed with the normal oil. I think I am still in the safe zone…but that could be wishful thinking!
It did help my pt cruiser that was slipping no guarantees but give it a try. Thanks for watching please subscribe I have a ton of pt cruise videos to save u time and money, it's called Lucas transmission oil
Me n my pt right now 😬
Why does your truck sound like an rc car when you gas it, is that due to the leak or the fluid? Im having the same sound on my car show up lately...
It's a bad alternator or ac comoressor. The belt is lagging on the wheel. Can also be a power steering pump. Please subscribe! Thanks for watching -cheers
@ Armando Salomon what is it because mine is making the same noise. I’m glad to read this comment and understand that it’s not my transmission making the noise. Is your car still making the noise ?
Update: My car doesnt make the noise as loudly as it did after changing my transmission fluid, though it hasn't stopped and after getting a reader i found that my alternator IS bad. Planning on changing it soon, i'll let ya'll know if that fixes it.
@@MallyMallz777 I never got the alternator fixed. Lol not worth it after the transmission had issues. Yeah look into your belts and the pumps that are on them power steering , a.c., and alternator. Please subscribe !
It can also be your a.c. compressor. If your a.c. is low there's a possibility. But it's usually the alternator. If it makes the noise when turning it's the power steering pump
My 2018 nissan altima wont go or reverse at all , turns out i was driving for 5 hours with no transmission fluid , but i had just put some in about 2 months ago?
You probably had a seal leak or a hose leak sadly once you drive with no transmission fluid the damage is done since it's a 2018 model only about five years old it might be worth replacing the transmission or having it repaired you can ask for a rebuilt transmission which is where they redo the inside of the transmission it can cost between 2000 and $5,000 sadly. Try putting more transmission fluid in first and see if it works thanks for watching good luck to you please click the bell and subscribe
Did it end up being the transmission? I had the same thing happen except none of the gears worked.
im getting the transmission rebuilt this week. yes i think running the truck without trans fluid caused a failure
Same engine on my 2000 escalade but my car is only going in reverse no problem I it in drive it won't go forward but I kinda notice when I shift to other gears I'm not getting jerk feel yesterday I went forward and my car lost power why I was accelerating now no leaks or anything
No reverse definitely sounds like a transmission issue just like in the video my truck will only go in first gear now I hope you can get it fixed good luck please subscribe and thanks for watching
The sound mine makes is like rings in a glass jar, now spin the jar fast. A non stop sound like that, that has been getting louder. Any idea?
It possible it's not your transmission. If it makes the noise. When your in gear then maybe something has come loose like a metal piece. Make sure to check your fluid regularly.if it is your transmission start saving up it can cost $2500-$3500 to rebuild a. Transmission. Good. Luck please subscribe!
@@drewsquickfix thanks. It does it upon start up, driving and parking, and idle. The sound has increased. 2 different sounds actually.
@c.518 might be something other than the trans then good luck . Did u subscribe and see my other videos that may help! -cheers
Dealing with the same problem thud then tow truck now wondering what my next option is
Good luck swamp!! I hope u can get it fixed!
Mine has trans fluid in it and it doesn't smell weird and I can't go anywhere, got a fix?
If your engine is running and the car isn't going anywhere you can still have a blown transmission with fluid in it however with no smell it is also possible that there's a problem with your shifter I would have a professional take a look I'm not a mechanic
Hey so my Nissan rouge 2017 was rebuilt it was hit by a bud by the headlight we rebuilt it all and now sometimes the car shakes switching gears and dosent drive like this so we took it to a dealer and the check engine codes detected a speed sensor but unfortunately it wasn’t that now we have a good car low miles but it only works sometimes turning it on and off trying to get the gears to lock or something could this be a sign of the transmission slipping and can I fix it ?
Hey seepan thanks for watching and commenting. I am not a transmission expert. I was not able to fix mine in the video. I was just informing people of they symptoms. I hope you can find the issue
@@drewsquickfix thank you boss I appreciate it I learned a lot from it too just was hoping someone could think of something god bless brother
@@seepan9394 I hope you can figure it out. If it's a transmission issue sometimes you need to decide whether it's time to part ways with the car. Nissans and mazdas have always been known for poor transmissions
Hey seepan try the Lucas oil transmission slip oil I show in the video. Its worth a shot if you haven't tried it yet!!
@@drewsquickfix it’s a CVT so that Lucas will definitely screw it up. Can’t use that with CVT
I have only one question won’t a light be shown on the dash if it’s transmission fluid
Audi a3 2010 auto
An older cars the check engine light will come on once the car fails but there's no sensor for transmission fluid and even newer cars I don't recall they're being an actual transmission light usually it's just a check engine light thanks for watching please subscribe and see some of my other videos
@@hoseajorge5083 but to also answer your question no there was not a light on telling me my fluid was low that's oil that does that especially since a car can catch on fire if there's no oil in it
was not over run... they were let in...
I have reverse, but no drive… I used to have a leak in the transmission cooling hoses… I had factory hoses put in. NOW like I said, it won’t drive… the motor runs, it has fluid in… BUT the wiring in my truck is old and some of them have been gnawed on by mice.🤦🏻♀️ I seen the wire coming from the computer module to the transmission and it’s half chewed… could that be my problem?!! I haven’t pushed it I keep an eye on it and know how to baby vehicles when you notice a problem… I don’t drive them if I notice a change… especially something like delaying before it kicks into gear… I always check my fluid levels in all my vehicles… daddy raised me right! 😂💯 BUT I’m leaning towards the wiring… if it’s not that then I’m leaning toward a solenoid, or torque converter. Whatever is wrong with it I have to do it myself. I can’t afford to get a rebuild… so any help or advice is greatly appreciated!!🙏🏼
transmissions can have electrical issue too yes! good luck to you! DOnt spend too much sometimes you should just throw the towel in on older cars depending on the model
@@drewsquickfix if I have to throw in the towel I’ll cry. I need to sell it, but I won’t sell it until it’s fixed.
@@jenniferlucas2432 what kind of car is it I can tell you whether it's worth fixing or not some cars just do not hold their value
@@drewsquickfix it’s a 2007 Ford F-150 STX 4x4 130,000 miles. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@@jenniferlucas2432 so ford generally does have poor transmissions. However very good engines. So it cam be expensive to .repair but with new trucks costing around $80,000 It's probably worth getting fixed. A rebuilt transmission worst case scenario is around $2500- $3500. Please make sure you subscribe. I am going to post more about my Tahoe transmission repair experience. If it's wires chewed by mice be careful about transmission places saying you need a $2500 rebuild. All transmission places are .scammers it's a profitable .industry and they all too people .off using used parts and bad workmamship
There needs to be an indication light for transmission fluid idk why there’s not
Yes lol all that happens is check engine light comes. On when truck won't move lol terrible. I have gone electric now no trans fluid to change wonderful!
Does that Lucas stuff work?
Yes absolutely! Although if you have already damaged a transmission or engine it can be too late. It did not work in this video. Because all my fluid leaked out and the transmission burned out
Someone please help, i have a shitbox 2011 nissan altima and the car runs but DOES NOT move at all or react to drive or reverse. Engine idle sounds whinny and horrible. I want to know if i should scrap my car for 400 bucks or is there a possible chance that i just have no fluid in the transmission?just a change? I only have a month to get it running because we are moving otherwise i gotta scrap it. Any advice would help
newer cars like 2011 dont have access to the transmission dipstick . sounds like a transmission issue as you initially believed. you can pay to have it towed to have the transmission oil checked. might be a scap job.look up the value of your 2011 car resale value then call tranmission places and price a tranmission REBUILD. then youll have the snswer if its worth reparing. good luck please subscru=ibe
Saved a tow truck eh....if it slips stop ✋️ and call someone to get oil. Do not drive it low on oil
yes exactly.... mine didnt slip though just a large jolt there were no symptoms other than a puddle on my driveway which i missed because i was in a hurry. But it was gone anyways. You are correct im. Sure it didn't help to .keep driving but the damage had already happened in my. Opinion.
I let my car sit for a month in win I went to start it it made a weird back fire then my car went dead them when I got it to start it was in lemp mode now it wouldn't go pass second gear
Could be the transmission but a car starts with a Bad trans. I dunno
Thanks
“a good sign” for a bad sign
Yes it is... Sadly I wasn't able to get the transmission to work again. Right now its not worth the cost of repairs but ill keep the truck for a while lol. I bet one day I'll be like I wish I didn't sell that thing ha ha
Did you eventually fix it?
No sadly.i don't drive it everyday so not worth paying $3000 for a rebuilt transmission only a 1 year warranty. I'll keep it for a while 2 door Tahoe are very collectable. Thanks for watching be sure to subscribe
Can I use my 4x4 with a bad transmission? Anyone know
Well if your transmission isn't working the truck isn't going to move. So no 4 wheel drive will not work if your truck won't move
@@drewsquickfix its moves bro it just struggles to go to 2nd gear after it gets to 2nd gear it works just fine
Same as mine! What is it???? It struggles to kick in low gears & sounds like that…but runs good on Highway.

@@drewsquickfix I've got a 99 Tahoe in my driveway now. This engine is out of a 97 Silverado, and has over 300k miles. I'm the Silverado it went through 3 transmissions while never touching the engine. Now that it's in mine, the engine died finally, and the transmission slammed. My trans has 180k. They fail often and have no real power. It's why my rebuild I'll be throwing in with a rv cam, may result in a 4l80, just so it can possibly handle a 350.
@@robvh1992 sometimes when a transmission is rebuilt it can be done improperly has nothing to do with the manufacturer. mechanics cheat when they rebuild transmissions not putting in the whole kit.
