Your interesting use of the English language makes it particularly difficult to ascertain the nature of your complaint. If you could translate into a more popular form it would be most beneficial.

If I understand some of your comments - for example that your car is bucking, shuddering, making nasty noises (?), then one possibility is the ever-present spectre of transfer case failure. Drain the T-case fluid, see if there are any metal chunks within.

Being that its non turbo, I would believe that it isn't the transfer case but maybe a clutch pedal not disengaging correctly which is why you can shift when its off but not when on cause nothing is spinning. I don't know why it would cause you to spin out though. Shouldn't have locked up anyting unless your differential broke, but then you would be able to drive it at all if you can.

Ah, apologies - I forget there are DSMs that aren't AWD.

Still, a translation into a more commonly accepted form of English might elicit more useful input.

but what i dont understand is that, why it would just go crazy n lose control while switching to 4th?, is it even possible to switch to reverse while driving? if not, then what else woulud of possibly happened,but even it was possible, how in the world could i of hit reverse, i mean u gotta go to reverse, then throw it right then down, its not like you can throw it in reverse in accedient, iduno, i jus duno :-(, but good news it starts n drives, BUT it drives reallllllly bad, lik when i go to reverse, it starts jumping for no reason, even in first, when i take off, it jumps n crap n feels lik the motor is gonna die, for no reason, out of no where, i'm driven the same n usin the clutch the same, but for some reason it feels real bad, n "jumpy"

im 99% sure its your master or slave cylinder.

stick your head under the dash and look at the pedal assembly look for any traces of fluid and make sure all the connection are intact

then check the master cylinder in your engine bay. fluid all that. then go to the slave cylinder.

if they all look good bleed the system and see what happens.

Please return after your remedial typing lessons are complete.

Pimp promises me he'll be better. Re-opened.

 

[BabyBlue_pimp]

Thank you very much Defiant...

But back to serious thoughts, Does anyone have any idea's on what it could be?, and how would i come by checking?

please respond, if not thank you all anyways.
You've all been a great help

 

[jott5555]

look up dude.. thats what the problem is.. i have given you a place to start now go do it..

 

[BabyBlue_pimp]

Thanx jott...
How do i check my master, and slave cylinders?

N i just checked for any leaks... I have none :thumbdown :-\

 

[dont need 8]

check the clutch fork too, I hear that they can bend sometimes.

 

[BabyBlue_pimp]

thanx for u all ur help guys..
but if wasnt to hard could you explain what to do, when stating to check something?
because i dont know how to check the Master Cylinder, slave, or what not, please help :-\

 

[jott5555]

ok start by going to here and then bleed your clutch system. then try it and see it you made any progress or if its still messed up. if you have pressure back in the system then mabey you just ran low on fluid or u have a slow leak somewhere.

persnally if the car has over 100,000 miles on it you dont know if the master or slave has been changed i would just do it anyhow as a previntiave measure.

 

[BabyBlue_pimp]

thank u very much.... i will look into the cylinders, and the link doesnt work :-\, re direction maybe?

 

[jott5555]
