Transmission playing up in my sv6

[Slysv604]

Hey guys just wondering if anyone can help me out....?
I have a 04 vz sv6 with transmission problems. When I select drive its like my car is in neutral and when I
select reverse same thing. my car has only done 93,000 klms. Mind u I serviced trannie about 5 months ago
Has anyone had same problem?

I had exactly the same problem and was stuck in my works car park for about 3 hours, waiting for a family member as my NRMA membership payment didn't come out .

Either way, i ended up getting the transmission serviced and then a new radiator (as the tranny cooler is on the radiator, which was blocked) and then the issues went away completely for about.. 2 weeks.. then they've come back.. i can now drive my car ok, but i can't reverse on any hills (just revs revs).

First thing most other people suggest, check fluid levels.

What's it do when you have it in active select mode or L 3,4?

Check your fluids, if they are at the correct level there is a good chance your tranny oil pump has failed. This just happened to me a month ago. $2500 for a rebuild. Also these gearboxes are prove to losing reverse altogether, there is quite a bit of info about this issue on the net.

is there any way you can check yourself at home if the transmission cooler is blocked

replace it for aftermarket, youd be doing yourself a favour anyway
