Hi, This problem started happening yesterday after the rain. The floor of my car was all filled with water. I didnt leave the windows open and the seats were all dry but the floor was like a river. So i dried it as much as i could. Now my car starts fine but the engine turns off when i'm changing gears to reverse or drive or anything. Sometimes it will just shut off when i press the break. After about 10 tries it lets me get past changing the gear but will still turn off after 20 secs of driving. The rpms are going crazy all while all this is happening and its jerking back and forth like crazy. Can anyone please help me in identifying what the problem is or how i can fix it?89 Acura Legend, starts but engine turns off when changing gears?
It's hard to say for sure, but the fact that the interior of the car got wet means the exterior also got wet. I'd say the distributor is wet and the ignition is at fault. Try some ignition drying spray in and around the distributor cap.89 Acura Legend, starts but engine turns off when changing gears?
u prob have a short in the wiring - esp if the car was filled with water like u mentioned - bring it in or get it towed to a mechanic...

No gears on bike any help welcome?
ive just got a mountain bike and it has got just the chain from the back wheel to the pedals but not the things that move it when you change gears.Im trying to find out what i need and a rough guess at how much it might cost to fix.No gears on bike any help welcome?
You'll probably have to take it to a bicycle shop to have the parts that you require ( transmisstion/shifting linkage/shifting cables ), but this could get expensive. Talk to a bike shop %26amp; see if they can work with you on the price. Goodl luck!No gears on bike any help welcome?
Probably more than it's worth. If it's a Murry, Huffy, Magna, Pacific, I'd trash it. You're talking over $100 anyway you look at it. And you need to know what you're doing to install all of these parts.
I assume that it's got all the cogs at the back and it's not a single speed?
If it's a single speed then why not run it as a single speed? If it's got lots of cogs at the back but no derailleur, why not run it as a single speed?
With a bit of practise, you could move up to fixed wheel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You got a one-speed bike.

How do car gears operate?
While driving to work today I became curious as to how the gears in a car actually work. Why does the car go faster by changing gears and what actually happens when changing from one gear to the next?How do car gears operate?
Your transmisson has multiple gears that vary in diameter. They can connect to the main drive or power gear as needed.
The size of the gear affects how quickly the it turns in relation to the drive gear.
To get the car moving, it takes a great deal of force, so the gear is large and it turns slowly in relation to the drive gear giving power vs speed.
As the car gains speed, the transmission changes to a smaller one, which turns faster relative to the drive gear.
Finally when you are at cruisng speed the smallest gear engages turning at nearly the same speed as the drive gear.
If you go up a hill and the effort needed by the motor is increased, then the smallest gear dis-engages and the transmission downshifts to a larger gear - giving the power to lift the car up the hill.
If you want to see this in action, look at a 12 speed-bike. As the chain moves from larger to smaller gears, the effort need to turn the wheel changes.
If you ride with someone who uses a manual transmission, they listen the strain on the engine to decide when to shift from one gear to another.How do car gears operate?
Automobile transmission are very complex machinery and explaining it will require a lot of pages. To explain it to you in a nutshell, when you shift gears in a manual transmission vehicle, the gear stick is connected to a whats called ';gear fork'; which basically moves a primary gear around other already moving gears caused by the combustion from the motor. These gears that are already moving is the gears for your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th drive speed. The primary gear basically detaches everytime you shift onto another gear. Think of it as a bicycle, it has the same principle but as I said before.. way more complex.
Through a process known as ';torque multiplication';. The product of each gear ratio, along with that of the differential (or final-drive) gear, determines how much torque is delivered to the drive wheels. Starting from a dead-stop requires a much greater torque value than that required to keep the vehicle moving, so the ratio gradually decreases with the selection of higher gears.
Stay blond dear i fear the answers to this question will be beyond your comprehension.

My shifter wont change the gears no matter what gear i put it into, got any ideas?
i have an auto 96 camaro v6 n the trannys working fine i just got it replaced but its stuck in reverse. I put the shifter into park and its still in reverse, same with every other gear. i think its just not catching to change the gears so anyone know how to fix that if its the problem?My shifter wont change the gears no matter what gear i put it into, got any ideas?
sounds like the shifting cable needs adjusted or replaced. it also could be binding, not letting you change the gears.My shifter wont change the gears no matter what gear i put it into, got any ideas?
I hope it's something as simple as the linkage same disconnected. Simple to check, get under and look to see if both lever are connected. Have someone move the lever while you watch the linkage is the easiest way. If it's ok, you've probably got a defective tranny.

Can you give gas while changing gears (standard)?
Last time I driven manual was when I was 9 years old. I'm getting a new manual car in 1 week. I know how to drive manual I'm sure but have just one question.
When I'm driving the car and want to change gears, when i push the clutch in can i keep giving the car gas or do i release the gas then push the clutch in then change gears?
I'm pretty sure you release the gas when pushing in the clutch, but just want to make sure.Can you give gas while changing gears (standard)?
If you release the gas when you shift, you will get a smooth shift.
If you dont let go of the gas with the clutch in, then you will rev the engine up.Can you give gas while changing gears (standard)?
Depends on the car. Some cars have ';no lift shifting'; which means you keep the clutch pedal down and just accelerate and change gears. Other than those vehicles you don't apply gas until after your clutch engages...even with heel to toe downshifting you aren't on the gas pedal when you're shifting.

How to shift gears in my R15?
Hello there.. I have bought a brand new R15.. I'm really exited about it. I wanted to ask .. whats the right way of changing gears? i.e. :- At what RPM should u normally change the gear and how not to make that click noise while shifting gears ??? especially while lowering the gear... cuz... Some of my friends told that it could harm the bikes clutch bell or something... Pls help me out... !!!How to shift gears in my R15?
there is no set point (RPM) you should shift. It all depends on how much power you want or need. If your trying to pick up speed quickly like getting on a HWY then shift at or right below red line. You downshift so your in the right gear when its time to get back on the gas. Depends on where your bike has the most power.
You can also skip the clutch all together (except for taking off from a stop) by reloading the shifter. That would be pull up slightly on it with your foot while accelerating. When it's time to shift quickly let off the gas and re apply it. It will pop right into gear. And no that's not hard on the clutch or tranny.How to shift gears in my R15?
Haha, that click is normal, just make sure you've got the clutch in all the way. The I often shift 1k before redline. Your friends aren't very smart.

How easy is it to swap/change/fix gears in a motorcycle?
I'm looking at a 1990 Suzuki Katana that has 13,000 original miles, but the 3rd gear is stripped out and does not work. The guy selling the bike already has a spare engine for parts. How easy is it and how long would it take to fix the problem?How easy is it to swap/change/fix gears in a motorcycle?
Is the rest of the bike in very good condition and/or is the selling price cheap ? Is the spare engine OK, if it is the easiest fix is to just change out the engine. If the spare engine is no good you could still probably get the needed gears out of it. In order to repair the tranny you will have to pull the engine, remove left+right engine covers, clutch and ignition plate to access any thing that holds the cases together. There will probably be some case bolts on top and bottom of the cases find them ALL. You do not have to pull the head or cylinder. Probably what happened was that the bike has been crashed and fell on the shifter which forced the shift and bent the shift fork, consquently, two or more gears have now become damaged from slipping by. It is a big job and probably not for the home mechanic, but hey, by a manual and try to repair it as a winter project.How easy is it to swap/change/fix gears in a motorcycle?
It is a major job, you will have to split the case. I do most of my own work on everything I own and it would be a job I would take to the shop to have done. He is selling the bike for this reason, do not buy this bike, it will cost more to fix it than it is really worth.
do your self a favor buy something else,more than likely the bike was beat to lose 3rd.there may be other problems you DONT know about.keep looking there everywhere.
