A friend of mine has his 95 olds cutlass supreme with the v6 and automatic tranny. Well a couple days ago, he went to leave work and put it in gear, and it didn't go anywhere. He got it home and I went to see what it was doing.
Well, he would put it into gear...and you could hear it go into gear. Give it some gas, the car wouldn't go anywhere, but the speedometer worked. And you could feel it shifting (if it was in D)...or you could manually shift it up through the gears and hear it.
I just thought it was odd the way the speedometer worked...meaning that something was turning inside to activate the sensor for the speedo. Also, since because you could hear it shifting seemed weird.
The only thing that sounded bad was when you go and put it back into park. You can hear it grinding on the lugs that engage the parking gear.
Could this be something electrical...like something is not engaging like it is suppose to? I dont even know where to start. The car only had 105,000 miles on it...I can't see the tranny going out this soon...or at least without any warning.
I don't expect a diagnostic here, but at least maybe some guidance of where to go to try and figure this out (besides the dealership)
Thanks
