2002 VY auto
Hi folks.
My 2002 VY , AUTO, has had a winding noise recently when accelerating...
Last night I went to move it on driveway... No gears would engage. Just revs like in neutral. However, if I turn car off and restart... It engages into reverse or drive, but if I try to change gears again, it once again just revs. Only get one gear change...
But it seems to work every time I turn car off n restart it.
Anyone know what might cause this?

Checking your fluid level would be the place to start.

Get the gearbox serviced...

I am betting the filter is clogged up with crud, causing the issue you're describing....

Had a similar problem with my VY auto...Got it serviced, problem solved
