NA car. Just bought this car today listed as transmission bad thought it might just be a broken forward band as I have fixed a few of those before in the car. It wasnt. There is a code in the computer for the internal range sensor inside the transmission. The PRNDL does light up but wont go to low 1 other gears show on PRNDL when gear shifter is moved. Not sure if the cable is just out of adjustment.
I removed the pan it was very clean and fluid nice and red. a little clutch material but nothing bad no metal shavings at all. I did not find a broken band and it was intact. The filter was loose as hell. I put in a spare filter gasket but the old filter was still loose. I did not have a new filter on hand and the parts store was closed so I wrapped some tape around the old filter and jammed it in there so it was tight just to test. I put on a pan with a drain plug so I can drop it again quick to put new filter in tomorrow.
While on the lift the wheels will move in drive when I give it gas! Reverse didnt seem to work on lift.
On the ground NOTHING. Any gear selected no movement at all.
Just got the car today so wanted to post what I know and see if anybody has seen this behavior before or have any thoughts on what might be needed to fix.
I read possibly sprag, input shaft, oil pimp shaft, stuck AFL valve, chain sprocket, chain. seems to be greatly narrowed down now that I see the wheels are spinning when I give it gas on the lift.
Thanks for any help in advance.
