Hi All, I was looking for input on some of the common causes for random loss of reverse. In my situation, reverse didn't "wear down over time." Just one day shifting the gear in reverse simply did nothing. Reverse now operates the same as neutral, revving the engine does not move the vehicle backwards. I also lost overdrive on the same day, but can drive forward still. The car only has 150,000 miles and it's a 2003, so that sounds to me like that is a little early for a full transmission blow up.
Anyone experience anything similar? Is it worth it to drop the transmission pan and look around to get more information on the problem or would that be a waste of time?
Thanks!
