4X4pathy94

i was gonna mention about the whole neutral thing.. but figured cause it was newer that it could shift in without being in neutral. like my fathers 2006 xterra

now adam dont make me drive to kemptville this late at night......

just bc your battery is 2 months old doesnt mean you couldnt have found a dud.. i changed my starter 3 times before i found a rebuilt that has worked for me but it is still too soon to know if this one wont conk out on me.

i dont know about the r50's but my 94 the only way to shift in to 4 lo is pushing down on the stick while attempting to put in 4 lo, 2hi to 4hi you just pull

im on my 3rd rebuilt they are crap probaly gonna buy new if this goes again.

have you checked your calipers on your truck they could be sticking and slightly rubbing aswell. I had my front drivers side and back passenger calliper stick and i was getting horrible mpg's

true that im a fscker aswell

have you checked your battery??

i would be present while they work if possible bc transmission shops know that people don't really have a clue. Try bringing the point up to them about what you found with the dangling hose. I just had my transmission done and the transmission shop wanted to rebuild the tranny and it was just my torque converter. mb it was just the shop i went to anyway goodluck

yea looks like they have done a better job then the previous taurus for sure. doesnt come across cheaply made as the older model was. i would like to see how reliable this car will be good for ford.

mb try the maf sensor try cleaning it first there is thread on here when they show how to clean it

i swapped out my old trans and put one in from a junk yard... I finshed putting everything together and it runs, but when i try and give it some gas to get it going faster it seems to lag engine revs but truck doesnt speed up. anyone think they know what this could be??

yea exactly, your maf could cause that sort of problem.... had similar problem with my 2002 maxima only when i turned it off and back on it still had no power. mb try cleaning? i think there is thread on the forum some where.

hey welcome to the forum nice to see another pathy owner on here thats from o-town oh and nice ride

i never had the problem with starting in second..so i dont know if it might mean your tranny is going or not. explain y you think it might be starting 2nd is there no pick up?? well might help you take off in the snow less wheel spin...

i would try changing your transfer case fluid it helped someone else on this forum.... Also install tranny cooler very good idea. my pathy was doing this as well and my transmission went also i had no after market cooler... i have only owned my truck for 3 months, so i dont know how long this has been going on for. might have been a while and the aftermarket cooler may save your bacon

well its a good thing that after the trans flush and transfer case fluid change your truck stoped shifting like that. Bc my truck was having the same problem and then one day the trans went. mb i should have changed the fluid and got and after market cooler. the thing is i had just bought the truck 3 months earlier and didnt know how long she had been shifting like that for... so for sure after market cooler seems like a must do.

yea i having trouble with the torque converter bolts seems the oil pan is in the way.... did you unbolt the tranny and move it to get at the bolts?

interesting the exact same thing happened to my pathy as well... I think it could be the torque converter, didnt think of the input shaft ill have to check that out as well. My truck still had park other than that all the other gears were gone.

how did you go about getting at the mounting bolts for the y pipe. they are pretty high, and in a tight spot. I hope its the torque converter, but is there away to figure out if my transmission is good when i pull it out.

also i was wondering if anyone would know if this problem would be the tourque converter or something else... I was driving the truck and made a corner going uphill and then my transmission felt like it came out of gear and in to neutral and after that made a funny noise kinda of whine when i pushed the gas. Park still works but no other gears are working. To make matters worse after that my starter became stuck on making a horrible whinning noise. any ideas im thinking torque converter and perhaps flywheel as well.

how much easier would that make it? seems like both ways are alot of work

oh yea i was looking at that and was kinda hoping that i wouldn't have to take that off. i have never done this before on any vehicle and was wondering if there was anything else i should take to make this easier. ihave taken this out so far: rear drive shaft 4x4 drive shaft i have 2 of the torsion bars out skid plate off wondering if i have to take out the y pipe along with the rest, looks like it is in the way
