hey guys its come to my attention that i may have a gear box problem.

first of i was driving yesterday and thought id have a play , gave it to it from the lights (no wheel spin) and the revs kept going and going and going until after 4000 and it still never shifted into gear until i took my foot of the accelerator.

and lately the car revs pretty high .sounds like there is plenty of power its just having trouble getting it to the wheels .

anyone know what is going on ?
hope it just needs new trans fluid

Think ya next stop is a trusted mechanic immediately as may be a case where it doesn't go into gear at all soon

My bet is you'll be up for a new transmission sooner rather than later. When it does shift, is it rough and does a thud follow? Shifts should be clean and decisive, if not, someone needs to take a look at it.

If the bill is anymore than about $1000, better off putting a full reco one in, or recoing your current one.

You checked the fluid levels?

If yes, otherwise, take it to get it serviced asap. As i said, may be a case where one day it doesnt go into gear and you have to get a tow which means more money
