I have a 2001 SE special edition. My transmission doesn't shift at all but can get it past 40. When i dropped the cover to change the fluid it had black like paper stuff in in but no medal? i got it scanned at auto zone and a couple codes came up. Mass airflow sensor,shift solenoid, and oxygen sensor what should i do? I bought new spark plugs but messed them up immediately.

 

you bought new spark plugs but messed them up immediately? what does that mean?

your tranny is most likely going out I wouls start scavaging the for sale section for a new tranny. or craigslist for a parts car with a tranny.

good luck

 

try replacing your shift solenoid that can cause your transmission not to shift at all.

 

i put new plugs in and they filed out

 

Was the problem the transmission or how the car was running?

How did you end up trying to get the codes? Were the CEL's on?

 

What was the logic, why did you replace the plugs?

 

this post made no sense, what the spark plug has to do with anything with the transmission, i think it's probalby your knock sensor, unless you had your codes check, we can't assume anything unless you already know what those codes were from the Check engine light

 

What u mean it makes no sense? i changed the plugs cause they were the original to see if it made a difference. I got the codes from autozone cause my check engine light came on thats how i got the codes

 

What do you mean "they filed out"?

 

ya id change the shift solenoid first then go from there, and what do you mean "file out"?

 

i would test your MAF sensor,...

unplug it..see if the car run differently,.. then clean it.. see if it runs differnetly..

..then the solinoids

 

i meant foul out.

 

Did they foul out from oil or gas? All cylinders or one cylinder. Similiarly, were the old plugs fouled out? I would think if it was oil, you would see smoke coming out the tail pipe. Most transmissions have a vacuum modulator to control shifting and the diaphram in it tears, the engine sucks tranny oil. But I really don't know if our cars have one.

 

take the chrome rims off...your killing your tranny with those anchors
