hi all,

Automatic Trans/93 GXE

so i am driving along this morning. temperature outside is around 3C. all of a sudden it seems the car slips out of gear and gradually slows down. when i press the accelerator, the rpms go up but no movement. i pulled into a driveway, shut off then switch on again, no probs. i put the car in reverse, but the gear never engages, so i let it roll out backwards. i put it in drive (D) and i pull off just fine, however when it is time for the car to change gear the same thing happens.

i checked my tranny fluid and i must say it is a tad low, and i plan to top it up.

the current situation is:

1. No reverse gear (R)
2. car doesn't go into second gear when in Drive (D)

what u guys think? tranny gone? or small mechanical fix? or just fluid?

any tips will be helpful...

thanks

supa

 

sounds like the tranny is on its way out
but then again i'm no mechanic
i hope for your sake i'm wrong
good luck with that

 

it's gone...

bye max....

parkin it.

thanks..

 

I had the exact problem, no reverse gear at all...when you're in drive with overdrive enabled, it wouldn't switch into overdrive so i'm limited to around 30mph...if overdrive was off, i could drive as fast as i want to bed. either way, tranny is being rebuilt goodluck to you
