95 SL2 Transmission won't engage

rksand · #1 04-29-2009, 09:09 PM

Auto transmission started whining today. Drove it home, now it will not engage. Added 1 quart of fluid, no change. Will engage immediately after starting engine, then starts whining and will not move. Any ideas?

Thanks!!

last time for fluid and filter change?
Miles on the car?

Reverse slam before this?

146,000 miles. Records show transmission was overhauled at 115,000. I bought the car from my sister at 130,000. Fluid has not been changed since overhaul. No slams. Has shifted great until yesterday!

Is there any tranny (red) fluid leaking from the tranny? Especially the bell housing. Im leaning towards a busted differential pin.

All gears the same?

Any codes ? (SES LIght on?)

ECTS Replaced with a brass one? Your car has two, you need to replace the one with the two-wire connector.

There is some fluid leaking. Replaced ects last month. No lights showing. All gears the same. My mechanic told me today the trans was toast. Guess I will go ahead and overhaul it. Hate to spend that kind of money!

Check the differential pin. Ive posted the video to check it thru the VSS. I think yours busted a hole in the tranny.

Get a tranny from the junk yard. '93-'97 MP& will work no issues
