Another common cause of slippage is when the friction plate is simply worn out from use. A clutch will not last forever, and over time the clutch will begin slipping. Adjustments will not fix this problem, as a worn out friction plate will require complete replacement. Vibration A grabbing o...
Worn Torque Converter Clutch Automatic transmissions have a number of clutches located throughout the assembly. A torque converter clutch is responsible for locking the engine and transmission into direct drive. If the torque converter has been burned by overheating, become jammed/locked up due to di...
but not the solenoid. A clunk indicates that the solenoid is working, but not the starter motor. Ensure that the transmission control is fully in the "Park" position. Transmission or clutch safety switch may be faulty.
There are several mechanisms of injury for a sprained wrist including falling on an outstretched arm, twisting of the wrist (especially if sports equipment is worn, i.e., baseball or softball glove), and hyperextension or hyperflexion of the wrist/hand. Preventing a sprained wrist Teaching athle...
The magnetic part of the sensor can also become worn and damaged over time. Can I drive my car with a bad speed sensor? It is not safe to drive a vehicle with a bad speed sensor because ECU will not be able to identify the driving speed. Also, the ABS will not start its operations...
There are quite a few sensors which control the engine and transmission. If one of the sensors, such as the MAF, MAP, TPS or speed sensors are sending improper signals to the computer, limp mode can activate. Failed fuel injectors, coil packs and worn out spark plugs can also cause it....
One of the major symptoms of a bad inner tie rod is a shaky and vibrating steering wheel. Since tie rods attach the steering wheel to the front wheel, you may feel vibrations while turning the vehicle at a lower speed. One of the main reasons for this vibration could be worn-out tie ...
My temp gauge did not increase and when I filled the car up again and finished driving home I checked and all of my coolant was gone again having the same characteristics as when I first pulled over. I will replace the radiator cap because the one i had before was fairly worn hoping ...
This starter is probably worn out also. There could be a wiring problem, anything from the key switch to any number of safety interlocks and antitheft devices, but most of the time it's the starter. On starters with the solenoid on top (GM, most others) the solenoid grounds through the...
the radiator. On vehicles with a mechanically driven fan, the fan speed is controlled by a fan clutch. When this clutch becomes worn, the fan does not rotate at the proper speed and is unable to draw a sufficient amount of air through the radiator. This results in higher coolant ...
