Tranny Gone??

Well, yesterday after work i go to my car start her up and proceed to put her in reverse but do not feel the engagement i normally feel when going into reverse, i push the gas and the car goes nowhere. Put her back in park and again feel no engagement, let off the brake and she starts rolling forward, wtf??? So i put it in drive and it bangs into gear and seems to drive ok but I have no reverse and she doesn't seem to recognize park. Just wanted to know if i'm screwed and tranny is gone,any ideas on what could be the problem??

Re: Tranny Gone??

well i would have it towed to a trannie shop because it sou nds like something is seriously messed up and since i have no knowledge of how to fix trannies i would just let them take care of it

Sounds like a classic case of low trans fluid, start the car, leave it in park and check the fluid on the trans dipstick. Very good chance its just low. I dunno about the park problem though now thats weird. Does it roll a couple inches then stop, or just keep rolling? If it keeps rolling i think you may have a problem with the shift linkage.
