Ive seen sillier mistakes before. A test for you- check the fluid level on the dipstick with the engine OFF. Now check it with the engine running and the trans in park. Now check it with it in drive while running( be safe dont run yourself over!). The fluid should drop on the second two checks, if the fluid level is the same your trans fluid pump is shot. The pump and the torque converter would be the only reason I can think of why it wouldnt engage in any gear. |
