Stalls when shifting into gears.
New problem:
Car starts fine. Shifting to any position will kill the engine. 1,2,3,D,R kills the engine. Starts fine from P or N. Engine will run as long as it's in P or N. Did a search and found nothing. Suggestions? |

Lock-up clutch.
The Torque converter lock-up clutch is locked. Could be the facings seperated to jam the clutch, or the solenoid B is jamed on.
Some one else had this problem a while ago, can't recall who. Harvey.

Does the car lurch and stall or does the engine just shut off as if you turned off the key?
If it doesn't lurch then it's not the tranny.

If David is correct that no lurch implies it's not the tranny, I wonder if something like the TCU could cause such a thing, i.e., what would happen if the torque control signal got sent to the ECU as soon as a gear was engaged & while at idle? Probably pretty far fetched...I'll go back to sleep now.

Stranger things happen.
I think to find out which it is, would be to fit the FWD fuse jack up a front wheel, and see what happens when you pull it into gear. If it is the clutch it won't cut out just spin the wheel. If it is something else it will cut out.
As Lee says the torque control does send a signal to the ECU when the lever is moved. Though I think the ECU is involved more by the indibitor switch signaling the move into gear. As the ECU will look at the idle rpm, and if above the normal idle speed, will cut the fuel to one side of the motor to reduce the shift shock. Harvey.

Do you have (or had) an aftermarket alarm/remote start installed?
It might be in "remote start mode". As soon as you shift out of Park or Neutral it kills the engine.

it's when u hit the brakes. the remote alarm cuts the ignition off a brake switch not shifter. im sure u can hit the brake w/out it cutting out right? ill go w/ the torque control because you would feel it if it was the converter clutch.

Re: Stalls when shifting into gears.

Re: Lock-up clutch.
I had the same situation, low atf level, added a few quarts, no more issues.

Re: Lock-up clutch.
There is no way that low transmission fluid will kill the motor, it will just not move, Harry said it would kill the motor when put into gear, not that it wouldn't move. (wow, this is an old thread)

I was baffled as to why it died. I finally added 2 more quarts of atf & no dead engine when stopping fast since go figure, what do you think?
