PT cruiser transmission won’t shift

[@tomarledge2021]

Hey Mike, Thanks for heading me in the right direction. Those four connectors, on the transmission control box out under the hood on the firewall, definitely were a problem with my PT not shifting out of 1st gear. But just cleaning them did not solve my problem. Mine turned out to be the rectangular rubber gaskets inside the removable connector. They expand and push the connector away from the transmission box and lose connection. This happens when they get hot causing the rectangular gaskets to expand. Looking into the plug you can see one per connector. They are light blue in color and are very soft flexible rubber. Using a sharp pointed tool I removed the gaskets and now they snap back easily to the transmission control box. No problem now with shifting. I realize the gaskets are there to keep the connections dry and clean. So as you reconnect each plug use a piece of electrical tape to seal them.

My 2004 PT Cruiser will sometimes stay in second gear after running , but it won't shift to third gear unless I do a quick off / on with the ignition switch and then it will shift into third or fourth gear , but not always . I sometimes have to shift into "NEUTRAL" after I did the "OFF / ON " switch , wait a few seconds , then shift back into "DRIVE" so that it will shift into third gear . I have always thought that it was dirty connectors because the problem was intermittent . I will try your method this weekend and let you know what I found out .

[@JnRskaters]

Did it work?

[@deanwoodburn2836]

2006 PT sometimes it will shift first to second other times not.if I stop an reset tranny by turning key on an off three times hold petal to floor after five dings turn off wait three minutes start it shifts fine

[@antoniomancini1794]

I have a 2001 PT Cruiser sometimes it will not shift out of first and sometimes it will not shift out of second and sometimes it works perfect I'm going to try this thank you I checked all the fluids everything seems to be fine when it works it works perfect what I find myself doing is resetting the key I'm definitely going to try this thank you great information

[@antoniomancini1794]

I just recently replace the timing belt also the water pump all tensioners and all the belts engine runs perfect

[@antoniomancini1794]

I'm also going to check all the grounds for some reason my gas gauge is also acting up it is always onE this is something else I have to check into and thank you again for the great video

[@dubois762]

My Astro van did the same thing. Acted like fuel pump gave out. Here it wasa bad corroded ground wire. Clean it up Fired up and no problem now

[@its_ya_boi_boi]

My car it has a similar issue where if I try to put it in drive or reverse it doesn’t move in this. Happened yesterday but all day before the Internet the car was driving fine I managed to check the oil in the transmission and it was a bit low so I editor and that seem to fix it for a moment but the car would jolt from a stop to accelerating

[@Stone_D.Leif00]

I have an automatic 2004 pt cruiser and yesterday it just up and stopped reversing and I reset the tcm/pcm and cleaned the connectors and still nothing so I'm pretty sure I'm going to need a new transmission

[@256mike]

Looks like it 😬

[@mandybell7884]

Thank you for this video ! Very good !

[@billrimmer5596]

Replaced my TIPM with one from a wrecking yard. Fixed it. Thank u!!

[@BuggysTowJam]

Was that because of a shifting issue that you changed yours?

[@robertmahaney7650]

What is that parts, I have no overdrive

[@davidroysdon4612]

I broke a line off in the transmission while taking the quick connect loose how can I get it out

[@jamestinker8286]

Thanks for the video everything I need to go to underneath the the breaker box and bring vault is that where I need to go

[@haroldasher6494]

A tip: watch movies on Flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@denvergrady1078]

[@albertr2212]

[@256mike]

You going to have to hook it up to the big computer in the shop could be the computer of the car it's fried

[@Polovex]

I have same problem. So replace solenoid and replace most of related. But limp mode continued.. Thank you very much. I think your video may help me.

[@256mike]

If your car is a 2006 you need to change the fuse box

[@alexandruhill1155]

This happened to me, they ripped me 500 and told me that had to drop the transmission

[@alexandruhill1155]

I drive an 06 PT Cruiser GT Although i havent been able to get a fuse box or tipm as they call it Part number 56049719AH They tell me they have to order one from the dealer ship and that they're on back order. i live in Florissant where it rains and snows every other day this winter. Havent been able to get one from a junk yard that's not soaked. They all tell me that there's a difference between a touring and gt, or they'll have to have a dealer ship program it. I can't drive to a dealership because my car is in limp mode 25 miles an hour

[@mykhailsuvorov8107]

You are amazing mechanic!!) And you have harisma !

[@JeanetteAAvila]

Where is the transmission on a standard 2005 PT CRUISER? My daughter was in an accident 2 day's before her dad passed away we had the damaged in front we had it fixed but it smells like something is burning 😥😥😥😥😥

[@256mike]

Sorry about your lost. The transmission is on the driver side of the car

[@robertmahaney7650]

Did you figure out your overdrive issue

[@johnstewart8579]

Did it work after you did all that

[@256mike]

Yes

[@bradbourque8632]

I have an 01 with a manual tranny seems to be stuck in 2nd gear...also wen I try to start the vehicle with the clutch depressed it wants to start in gear even with the clutch pedal depressed

[@jackianmayer5910]

neutral safety switch?

[@shereseburkes4922]

My 2005 Pt Cruiser won't go into reverse put still drives. Ok

[@johnharrisonschulz]

​@@shereseburkes4922, It's probably just a $20 shifter bushing.

[@rigobarrera4965]

I like your Playboy Bunny on your neck😮

[@mykhailsuvorov8107]

Believe me you can be eactor in Hollywood in funny movies!) This is haracter !!!

[@antoniomancini1794]

Thank you for this video

[@timmy1041able]

I have a 2004 with an automatic transmission that won' t shift above 3rd gear,otherwise no other mechanical issue is this any easy fix with a module or solenoid?

[@256mike]

Do you have any codes? This is what I will do first if I was you. check the connections on the TCM and clean it also check the wiring, that it is also in good condition. Check the condition of the fluid, it should be a nice lite red and not dark red. If dark red then you need to change your trans fluid ATF +4! It's synthetic, don't forget the filter. Could be a solenoid but like I said need a code first so you don’t start spending money on parts you don’t need. Clean all the plugs one by one tic transmission and have auto zone check your battery. Your wipers work like they supposed to or you having problems? My radio went bad when I was driving on my 2002 neon and the car wouldn’t start there was a message on the dashboard No bus. Chryslers, dodge , Jeep are build with cheap Chinese parts just like there sister fia lmao 😂. I’m always working on them. Good luck

[@uruguayo23]

I have the same problem the code said it is a ground wire but I don't know with one.

[@shereseburkes4922]

[@256mike]

What year is your pt?

[@mojosteppin8935]

2004

[@JnRskaters]

Could be brakes

[@Andrew_Stoffel]

This issue sounds more like a problem with the TIPM.
