Did it just suddenly die or has it been slipping for a while? Sounds like the forward clutch is not engaging. Could be a hydraulic problem or the clutches have failed. Either way, the trans needs to be overhauled. Dennis

It will not move forward when put in any forward gear selection. It operates well in reverse gear. Is there a set of circumstances regarding a failure of the torque converter which would allow this to happen. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Rico |
