2023.05.29 20:35 chainmailbill Rescued 1973 Nova - Transmission does not engage at all. What should I try first?
![]() | Hey everyone! My brother and I just rescued this 1973 Chevy Nova Custom from a neighbor’s backyard. It ran when parked about a year ago. We had a few hours to tinker with it yesterday, and managed to get the motor running. However - the automatic transmission (which is leaking) does not seem to be engaging any gears at all. Nothing in reverse, drive, or the low gears. submitted by chainmailbill to MechanicAdvice [link] [comments] Obviously my first course of action when I get working on it again is to drain the transmission and refill with the correct amount of fluid (3 gallons!?!). I might get lucky and it’s simply not shifting because it’s bone dry. But assuming that doesn’t work - what should I try next? What are some easy ways to troubleshoot an older automatic transmission and what should I be looking at/replacing? The motor is the stock 307 V8 short block, and it’s mated to what the internet tells me is probably a turbo hydramatic 350 transmission. If it matters for troubleshooting, the “fasten seatbelts” light turns on if you put the stalk into drive with the belt unbuckled. Otherwise, there is no change in feeling when shifting through the gears - L1, L2, Drive, and Reverse are all inoperable, but it doesn’t make the car make any noises or lurch around. Thanks in advance for any help and resources you can provide! |

2023.05.28 16:10 hybridsme Is it seems like overfilled transmission?
![]() | 2009 toyota corolla, 1.8 automatic transmission, 162k odo. submitted by hybridsme to AskMechanics [link] [comments] Is it overfill ? Car was sitting over night before it took this reading with cold engine and transmission. Last transmission fluid was changed at 135k and car has been running I believe with this same level of fluid in transmission. Please let mw know how to fix it if its overfill? Should I drain the fluid ? Or if need to replace the how to measure the correct level. Car is shifting okay but sometimes it's like little hesitant. No transmission codes etc. Is this cause permanent damage to transmission? Thanks |

2023.05.25 06:06 Special-Pay-9393 Seeking advice on 2006 Lexus GX470
![]() | Can someone please give me advice on a 2006 Lexus GX470? submitted by Special-Pay-9393 to AutoMechanics [link] [comments] Husband is deployed and I brought in the Lexus because the A/C went out last Friday. I wanted to get some things fixed before he gets home this summer. A few months ago, I noticed leaks on my driveway and was told by mechanic #1 that it was the transmission cooler lines and air suspension. (Mechanic #1 retired at the end of this month, so I went to mechanic #2) When I brought the Lexus to mechanic #2, I asked them to do an overall check for other things too because I don’t know the car too well. We bought the Lexus from a military friend who was got orders to Guam. I have barely owned it one year but I had a terrible gut feeling since the beginning. Friend never really maintained it, but I had faith in my husband’s decision for the purchase and we stuck with it. We paid $8,000 for it. It has roughly 170k miles. Mechanic #2 said it’s a big money pit and to sell or trade it in, but my husband is so adamant on keeping it and fixing it up. Can someone look over these notes and tell me what my best option is? I appreciate your time in advance and welcome any feedback. I paid $450 for labor today when I picked it up and in addition, when they gave me the keys, it wouldn’t start and I had to dish out another $250 for a new battery. Should I get a second opinion at another mechanic? Thankfully, we are blessed to have another vehicle so I’m not in a rush to make any decisions now. Any advice/recommendations are appreciated. |

2023.05.24 23:51 Brownie122806 Gear shifter having trouble with third
![]() | (I guess this is a repost? But the original post didn't upload, so idk) submitted by Brownie122806 to MechanicAdvice [link] [comments] Hi guys, I was wondering if y'all could help me out again, my 04 Chevy cavalier is having trouble shifting now, and idk what the problem is. Not only does it have trouble getting into third, but it also struggles and grinds in fifth (only while driving). I've checked all my fluids, and nothing seems wrong. Hoping you guys have an answer, thank you in advance. If this also helps, I had the transmission worked on about two months ago. Not sure if these two incidents are connected though. |

2023.05.24 14:10 Buyyours Types of Dozer and Blades Used in Construction
![]() | There are types of dozer and blades used in construction. The term “dozer” was first used in the nineteenth century to describe an operational mechanism attached to the front of track-type tractors. It was employed to scatter loose dirt out over the top of the overfill. It has evolved through time and is now utilized all around the world to conduct more difficult building operations. submitted by Buyyours to equipmentbuyandsell [link] [comments] Do you know how Dozers have evolved? The dozer was originally referred to as a steel plate and an operational mechanism mounted on the front of track-type tractors. They were affixed to the front end of a pole drawn by horses or oxen and were made of wood. Their major job was to move loose dirt out as it gathered in the overfill. With the passage of time, a dozer blade was added to the machine’s front end, which was controlled by a rope windlass attached to the tractor’s mainframe. Manufacturers began developing dozer blades that matched specifications and quality criteria in the mid-1940s. Both cable and hydraulically controlled versions were available. These track-type tractors were rapidly dubbed “dozers” and were employed for a variety of projects such as motorways, dams, canals, and so on. For material lifting, cable controls were initially used. Dozers eventually gained an onboard computer that allowed the operator to control the blade and produce a specified design. Modern dozers are employed for activities like moving material and finishing grading, and they’ve evolved over time. A dozer is available in three sizes: small, medium, and giant. There are now a variety of undercarriage, drivetrain, and blade configurations, as well as a slew of other options. The name “dozer” now refers to tough machinery designed for harsher building jobs. https://preview.redd.it/kvugmyn3tr1b1.png?width=980&format=png&auto=webp&s=aa15fec391572ed070941f20c904dd6bb998dd55 In modern Indian construction, different types of dozers and blades are employed. India plans to spend up to 111 trillion rupees on infrastructure projects over the next four years, thanks to the large investment. Bulldozers are now widely used on roads, trains, and airports as a result of this. Bulldozer producers are now concentrating their efforts on technological advancements that will support the machine’s compact variations and features that will improve its performance on difficult terrains. Built-in intelligence is now available, allowing you to seamlessly integrate with leading GPS grade control systems. They are also available in a variety of power and handling configurations. In India, various types of dozers are employed in road, mining, railway, and other construction projects. Dozers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Crawler Dozers The crawler is a tracked dozer with a tractor-like appearance. This large equipment is used to transport items from one location to another. A Hydrostatic Transmission System is standard on modern crawler dozers, allowing for variable or intermediate speed choices. The mainframe, which is made up of a track frame and connecting bars, was created using modern Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) technology. Dual-path closed-circuits with two variable displacement piston pumps and two 3-speed variable displacement travel motors are standard on contemporary models. For protection against rocks and stumps and to improve longevity, travel motors and final drives are installed inside the track shoe. The use of large-size links, pins, bushings, and special dust seals considerably extends the life and reliability of the undercarriage. Dynamic brakes are used on dozers to guarantee that they operate safely. Light operating effort and good blade response are provided by the 3-axis PPC valve and ergonomically built joystick. All directional movements are controlled using a PCCS (Palm Command Control System) joystick. The blade is easily visible because of the engine hood and well-placed operator seat. This improved blade visibility improves grading efficiency and eliminates operator guesswork. The models are made to maximize the curvature of the blades. Because of the broad blade radius, the material’s rolling-up performance can be enhanced by using the entire blade. This allows for high production while still retaining grading capabilities. Dozers on Wheels This machine, which is also known as a tire dozer, is often larger than a crawler. Wheel dozers have sturdy frames that may last for many years and resist the harshest environments. It has a full box-section rear frame that can withstand torsional and twisting pressures. The installation of the axles has been adjusted to improve structural integrity. The Steering and Transmission Integrated Control System combines directional selection, gear selection, and steering into a single lever on the new models. Powershift transmission is consistent thanks to the Advanced Productivity Electronic Control System’s integrated electronic controls. Fuel-saving features include a mechanically operated electronic unit-injection system, engine-idle-shutdown and engine-idle kick-down systems, delayed-engine-shutdown system, and on-demand and hydraulically powered cooling fan on the latest wheel dozers. Automatic temperature control, touch-screen display with soft keypad, electro/hydraulic parking brake, and the Comfort III seat with air-ride suspension and inbuilt controls are all available in the operator cab. https://preview.redd.it/c4tqywf5tr1b1.png?width=331&format=png&auto=webp&s=6ba58701200840023f4ae4a407f0733dd8693792 Miniature bulldozers A tiny dozer, sometimes known as a mini dozer, is used for activities that demand more mobility and flexibility than larger equipment. Technology advancements and a new low-emission, fuel-efficient engine are among the features of today’s tiny dozers. It has a redesigned lower sloping hood line that increases finish grade efficiency by improving vision to the periphery view and the blade’s cutting edge. The models had blade capacities ranging from 1.85 to 1.98 cubic metres, 92 horsepower, and operational weights ranging from 8,319 to 8,627 kg. These machines’ Eco mode allows the engine to automatically offer maximum speed and power until the load lowers. A 25-cm primary display with color touchscreen and access to many of the standard and optional advanced technology features is also included in the new model. By supplying the chassis in the cross-slope direction, the slope Assist feature in compact dozers enhances operator efficiency when operating on slopes. This also works in tandem with the operator’s blade control input, making it easier, faster, and with less effort to complete the grade. Dozers that are hybrids These dozers feature electrical components and have a blade combination that can work in both soggy and difficult terrains. The current generation of hybrid dozers excels in load responsiveness, maximum torque, power, and fuel efficiency. The turbocharged engine with an Air-to-Air intercooler uses well-proven multi-injection technology to improve torque back-up and fuel efficiency while lowering engine noise and vibrations. The common rail FPT Industrial engine’s hydrostatic transmission provides best-in-class pulling capacity and controllability. The radiators in the new models are positioned without overlap, allowing each radiator to get fresh air and maintain stable fluid temperatures. The hydrostatic fan adjusts its speed in real time to match the actual cooling need, lowering power consumption. The reverse mode decreases the amount of maintenance required and extends the time between cleanings. For great machine controllability and faster cycle times, the driver can modify all of the working parameters. The cab controls provide a variety of electronic settings and automatic tasks to assist the driver. Dozer Blades of Various Types The blades used in the aforementioned dozer types can be further categorised. Varied blades have different functions, can handle various materials, and can bear a variety of load weights.
The many varieties of dozers and the characteristics provided by manufacturers to propel the need for multi-terrain in India are described above. In order to improve the quality of the work, the construction sector has a high rate of adoption of technologically advanced equipment. Significant investment in rail infrastructure, highway building, and metro rail projects, as well as government housing programs, are expected to drive demand for dozers in India. |
