Transmission Problem :(

[VSCharlie]

Hey guys


I've got a problem with my car. (vs commodore)

RE-EDITED

gears are messed up

park = park
R = Drive ( i think its full range of gears)
N = Drive ( i think its full range of gears)
D = Drive ( i think its full range of gears)

i'm too afraid to put my foot down or change into 3rd 2nd and 1st incase i do damage to it
i'm abit worried cause i only got the car not long ago so any help with be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet would be to take it to a tranny specialist. Dont go to holden they'll bend you over just to take a look at the car.

Yeah, take it to an automatic transmission specialist, could be any number of problems. I wouldn't flog it in the meantime though, really there's no way to know until it's been inspected, agree with above though - Holden are expensive. Best go to a trusted local mechanic.

thanks guys, i spoke with a mechanic this morning and a few people from the forums and they both have said it could be the selector arm

i honestly dont know how it happened. i was driving back from canberra goin thru the clive mountains. was dropping it back from D to 3rd to save my brakes. didnt even know i did damage to it until i got home and had to leave agian.

i'm hoping its the selector arm.. fingers crossed. if its not then i will be taking it to a trans techie.

but once agian thanks for the advice everyone has offered. i really appreciate it.
