Some Chevrolet Equinox owners report experiencing transmission issues after a line replacement, such as the transmission failing to engage and the vehicle shutting down. These problems may stem from low or dirty transmission fluid, which can significantly impact performance. Additionally, some owners encounter difficulties due to shift linkage failure, which can prevent proper engagement of the transmission. Torque converter problems are also reported, leading to similar engagement issues. Misaligned throttle position sensors can further complicate shifting, while malfunctioning shift solenoids may contribute to the overall transmission problems. To resolve these issues, it is advisable for owners to check the transmission fluid levels, inspect the shift linkage, examine the torque converter, verify the alignment of the throttle position sensors, and test the shift solenoids. Addressing these potential causes can help troubleshoot the transmission problems effectively and prevent further complications.
