Ok, just today I "tried" to put my car in reverse but it didnt do anything... I gave it alittle gas but it sounded like I was in neutral.. Put it in neutral it started moving me forward.. So I cant go in reverse... sound kinda like a problem.. I can do everything else tho. :banghead: I have a Automatic BTW.

It might just be the linkage. Check it out sometime or have someone look at it before you go and buy a new trans. If you're not going to check it get someone you trust to, not a shop. They would probably try to screw you over and get you to buy a new trans.

Ok, Ive heard somethings about the linkage, but im not too sure what to look for. I have a couple people say it may just be the linkage. If that is the case, how would I go about fixing it?? And is it expensive/hard??

Also, is it acctually safe to drive with the "linkage or tranny" being in the shape that it is in now.?

Well if your tranny is already messed up it really can't be all that bad for it. But if it's the linkage than I see no real problem unless it breaks completely and you can't like park it at all.

How is your car set up too? Is the auto shifter on the floor or on the column?

Ok, I already KNOW that the tranny is going to cost some :2cents:!! But how much do you guys think that the linkage will run me?

A linkage from a dealer probably around 150 - 200 but getting one from a junkyard or scrap place 50. But the only linkage I have purchased was for a 5 speed saturn so give or take a few. Just call your local dealership and ask them for a price on it.

what makes you think you have tranny problems? your linkage is out of adjustment or messed up... guys drive like that all the time... my buddy has a '91 rs that he puts in into N to go forward, linkage is out of whack, either get a new one or try to adjust it, i wouldn't guess you have any tranny problems at all...
