My car starts but does not goes into gears I mean I can not drive it I have consulted a mechanic(AAA certified) and he tells me that my car’s transmission has broke and it would cost $ 2000 for a new transmission with a two year guarantee for it. Please help me regarding this because I am confused. Also do advice me whether to buy it in cash or go for financing and if so where?

I recently aquired a 1998 Toyota Camry with a blown engine. I had a mechanic put in a new engine and the car ran great. Felt like it was brand new and shifted perfectly. Then a few days ago I went to put the car in reverse and the car didnt respond. The engine didnt rev up and the car didnt have the mild shake they normally do when the transmission is engaged. I didnt think anything of it and put it in park then back into reverse and it engaged and drove fine. Then the following day this happened to me twice but I noticed it did it on any shift position reverse and drive. It took 2 or 3 times that day to engage each time this happened. Then yesterday the car refused to go into reverse or drive at all no matter how much I messed with it. Im pretty sure the transmission is fine as when it does engage it drives perfect no jerking in changing gears no noises etc. Also the button on the shift knob is still tight which leads me to belive the shifter cable is still intact. My mechanic is clueless as to what this problem is. Any ideas of where to start looking or what the cause might be? Please help!
I recently had a leaking rear main seal, that I got repaired for about $1000. About three days after the mechanic fixed this, I was driving on the highway and my engine started over revving, and not moving everywhere. I don’t know anything about cars really, but that seems to me like they screwed up pretty bad putting the transmission and the engine back together. The mechanic gave me a 20,000 mile warranty for the rear main seal. So my question is should I be paying at all for this new repair? Keep in mind I have never before had a transmission problem, and I don’t see how it could be anything other than a mistake on their part.
Hello – I have a 1992 Lincoln Town Car Executive with well over 200,000 miles on it. Transmission was rebuilt about 6 years ago. About 11 months ago started having troubles. Took it back to the shop that rebuilt the transmission to be checked. They couldn’t find anything wrong by doing a test drive. Basically said it was just shifting. Took it to my Lincoln dealer repair guy – he said it was the torque converter. We replaced the fluid with Mercron as recommended. Seemed to fix the problem, but it is still doing it. I don’t think he replaced the transmission filter. I put some stuff in the transmission called Transmedic from PepBoys – that fixed it immediately but now it has returned. I never replaced the transmission fluid after the rebuild – they didn’t tell me to. What do you think the problem might be? Would replacing the filter help? Sometimes it feels as if the car is shuddering” as I excelerate.
I have a 1995 Chevy Lumina Mini Van 3.1L V6 TBI. The van is having difficulty shifting gears, especially reverse. It’s making a lot of noise when trying to shift mainly from the first gear to second and reverse. I so afraid that I’m going to be out somewhere and my van won’t go into reverse, or I’ll be driving and the transmission will just fall out! First Can you tell me if I need a whole new transmission or is it something else that can be easily repaired? Second, How dangerous is it to drive? Third, What would be a fair price to repair this problem?
A couple of times, I had a bit of a delay engaging into reverse in my 1990 Mercedes 300e with 200K miles. Tranny fluild is black. Otherwise car runs great. Gave this car to my daughter to go around town. Can you tell me. Is it safe and can I do damage to the car tranny by waiting to do a tranny job. Will a tranny service help? How long before the tranny dies. Thanks much. I’m not sure if I should spend 2500 on a tranny job or if I can keep it around for a couple of years till my daugher goes to college.
I have one question for you. I just bought 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. We tested it out, drove and reversed out of the driveway. We got home, and for some reason we can’t get it to go into reverse. We just got it, and we had scrounge into our little bit of savings, so we dont really have alot of money to get it fixed, or rather we dont have enough to pay ten people to “look” at it. From looking online, the closest thing I found was that it might be something with the transmission? I dont know. If you could please help us, it would be very greatly appreciated
I have a 1992 Chevy C1500 2wd with a 4.3 liter V6 (Automatic). I recently (6 weeks ago) had my Transmission replaced. 5 weeks later the truck would not go in Reverse and it seemed as if it was in a higher gear when I started after stopping. I took it back to the mechanic and he looked at it and told me there was a piece of dirt in the transmission that jammed it up and would not allow it to go into reverse and also made it stick in 3rd gear. He said he fixed the problem. 1 week later the truck is now doing the exact same thing again and the mechanic refuses to do anymore work to the transmission. My problem is that I don’t know if his diagnostic of the problem was correct or if I have a different problem. (FYI When the truck is put down into 1st or 2nd if will run in those gears and when put into reverse the drive shaft does not look to be engaging). Can you offer any insight as to what the problem may be?
Can I ask why is my mitsubishi lancer 1.3 (Year 1998)having noise when i am parking. There is a metal to metal knocking one time sound when the brake is applied while in reverse motion at half clutch position. The sound will be gone after that. This sound don’t always appear. I have service my brake caliper and change new brake pad in front and skim the brake behind, but the sound still don’t go away. I just change the full set of clutch because it was burned during going up slope and I wasn’t aware that the clutch pad finished.
