car problems

[satos]

well guys i was taken my car for a bit of a cruise las night. I jus pulled out of the driveway and because this car has a auto transmission i tryed to change it from reverse to drive. it wld not click into gear. i was sittin there for about 15mins muken around with it b4 it decided to work. any ideas what could have caused this i am starten to worry i have owned 2 other cars with auto trans and this has never happened. the automatic trans and the engine have jus been rebuit so it is strange that it is stuffen up.

were you on a steep incline,the reason i asked my previous car a vc commodore
would not let me shift the t bar to drive when the car was on an incline.When the car was on flat ground no problems.

that may have had something to do with the fluid levels- could be low and not enough in the right places when on an incline
