Car Forum / Kia Cars / November 200603 Rio transmissin prob
Have an 03 Rio, live in North Florida , the overnight temp has been dropping to just above freezing at night. Each morning when it does the transmission won't move out of park for several minutes, I'm suspecting a temp sensor on the transmission is causing it . This is not a problem right now but it can get in the teens in January so I'm not looking forward to sitting in the driveway for 20 minutes when it does .Any suggestions ? Thanks , Phil. >Have an 03 Rio, live in North Florida , the overnight temp has been >dropping to just above freezing at night.

I could be wrong and am not that familiar with the Rio, but I've never heard of a temperature sensor that would shut down a transmission if it's too cold. If it's a problem in north Florida, imagine what it would do to someone in Iowa or Maine... -- Christian > I could be wrong and am not that familiar with the Rio, but I've never > heard of a temperature sensor that would shut down a transmission if [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > -- Christian The 'check engine light ' came on this morning and stayed on all day, time for a diagnosis , hopefully all related .

Slight progress , talking to one of the guys in work yesterday , he suggested leaving it in neutral with the handbrake on and try shifting it in the morning . By the time I got home I had forgotten about it , so same thing this morning , wouldn't go into reverse , open the car door and pushed back with one foot and bingo , it went into reverse. He had asked me if the driveway was at an angle , didn't think there was much if any of a slope but I guess it's enough. >Slight progress , talking to one of the guys in work yesterday , he >suggested leaving it in neutral with the handbrake on and try shifting it in [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >driveway was at an angle , didn't think there was much if any of a slope but >I guess it's enough. Slope shouldn't matter if things were working as designed. -- Christian > On Tue, 21 Nov 2006 19:30:12 -0600, "Phil" <philo@gnt.netSPAMMM> >>driveway was at an angle , didn't think there was much if any of a slope >>but [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > -- Christian Talked with another guy at work , he's pretty sure it's the linkage between the brake and shifter , it gets coffee and other things nasty things dropped onto it ,attracts dust and binds up. Involves removing the console /shroud around the shifter and cleaning and lubing it . Sounds like a good job for today as I'm off .
