I thought I should re wright a re reply due to some major confusion on Shiano behalf just in case he confused anyone else , First off , park is not like a rotor a rotor works with friction to do its job,, Park is a mechanical lock, If you are going down road at and cruseing speed and put your car in park, it will not engage , nor will it engage until you are stopped or almost stopped, The auto industry set park up this way for reasons, It could be a diaster if someone engaged park on the highway makeing the car uncontrolable or breaking lots of parts, they made the car so until your very slow or stopped you get no enguagement, If you are slow rolling and it does engage the tires most likly will slip if their is enough force other wise every car in town would be rolling across the parking lot and the auto industry would be getting sued to death.. Possibly if a vechicle has very degraded spider gears or diffrential gear a slow rolling park engagment could finish them off however degraded is the key word, the auto industry does build items to fail if their is no liability but to have a failing park , thats big trouble... my experience with the ocassional people who have hit a shifter or raceing or whatever and shift from drive to park while going down the road and broke thir transmission is the tranny diddnt go into park , it simply left the manual valve for the transmission partially in reverse and it put the unit in reverse and yes this can be a diaster for a transmission but never one time have I seen a broken park even though thats what they claim they do.. The one thing I have learned if their is always exception to rules and proubly one dayIll get a trans with park broke but not yet, the noise you hear on a rolling park selection is the park c og is shaped like a cam lobe with a next to nothing spring to help push it in place since it has almost no spring it bounces back and fourth between the case and If the spring was greatly increased you may get a enngagement at a speed higher but I still guess the tires will simply slip.I have watched many repo guys drag a car off in park and sliping tires Ive seen.. I will add this , very often , not always the customer at a transshop dont always get the truth, If a customer says I did this and I wonder if I caused this and you say yes, That makes the customer feel like he is somewhat smart , you have then complemented him and he now wants to give you his monei to fix his car, Thats business.. Their are some very good rebuilders out their and their are in my opinion way more medium or bad ones, They often can barely remember how to get unit back to gether, if their is a proublem, they dont know what it is, and when the unit comes back they blame it on the customers, and their real ace in the hole,, If they cant dazzle you with their brilliance, the baffel you with their bulls#** I would suggest this for anyone out their, What I put down is basis of my experiences in the feild, I also design and produce prototype automatics and have a patent on one design and a provisional patent on another I would suggest anyone who feels its OK to know apsolutly nothing about automatics and feels they are entitled to tell others their wrong based most likely of baffeling bullshit really shouldnt be posting anything unless at the end you reply you state that you have no fact or knowledge oveiously of how a automatic park works, ( based on the rotor philosphey) to back it up... so please dont leave that out next time you want to baffel someone withBulls#*** Roger Reynolds Roadrage quickchange gears and 604 race transmission..
When something is used as a reference, it's an analogy. An analogy is used to help the reader or listener better understand a "way" (lack of better terminology at this point) something is.
Automatic transmissions (A604 especially, and you should know this considered you once stated "The A604 transmission is one that was designed to fail".) are precision instruments, not noise makers. Telling someone it's OK to shift their vehicle (any vehicle) into park before they've come to a complete stop is not OK. it's not good advice. never has, never will be.
I want you to put your personal vehicle into park for the next solid month EVERY time you go to park it while you are at 15+ mph. Then, after you're having to rebuild your own transmission (you have that resource and luxury, we don't) soon thereafter, truthfully tell me and all the world (including all the other transmission specialists [not liars. and no, i'm not calling you one]) that you didn't cringe every time you slammed it home, or that you don't feel your tranny is any worse for wear. If you're not willing (nor actually going) to do this, then please, do not respond in a retaliatory manner to this post.
Just for sh*ts and giggles, if you're brave enough, I do want you to engage Park doing 35 mph with no one else around on a straight road. Just be sure you are ready to hit the brakes if need be because I am not wishing you any harm.
I'm not trying to discredit you in any way. You have genuinely had good intentions with this site and your willingness to help. That is greatly appreciated by those whom you have helped and welcomed by those you will STILL help here in the future.
None of those three shops were "flashy bullsh*tters". They (surprisingly considering the field) all have good track records with maybe a "few" blemishes. The main one (the first the problem was taken to), has been in business longer than the others. This guy knows his stuff. When he retires (soon actually), his shop will be closed for business. He has about 60% of the auto tranny business in my city. The other two shops HAVE to be good in order to get the customers that can't wait when he is too busy.
No one posted that they were confused (after my post) so there was no "major confusion".
This post is not meant as a provocative conversation.
i have not made a move yet. money issue. n since i decided to part the car out, yeah...not gonna do anythng to it. however. pulling parts from this baby wont be a problem. and ill do that when the time comes. i would have it fixed..but it would be abit costly to get it to where it needs to be. the venge is taking over. both posts have been helpful tho.
so ya i got into an accident and my avenger doesnt switch gears properly like it goes from fisrt to second and then revs high in 2nd then when it does shift to third its like it is in nuetral whats wrong wit it
You've got a bad tranny! Just a guess take it to a tranny shop have them check it out. Sounds like the torque converter. But I'm more of a manual tranny guy.
