Sounds to me like you have a broken spring in the valve body You need to have a line pressure test to be sure but that is a common problem in the older cars
Absolutely not.
sounds like the auto transmission has a fault
Generally shifting from reverse to drive, while still rolling, is possible but not recommended. This places a lot of stress on the transmission and other components of the drive train.
It a protection that way u won't damage the transmission
check fluid in tranie....and LUCAS tranie lube
I have a similar issue my '88 accord LXI automatic does not have reverse and it grinds in park and drive. Told the shift fork in the transmission and shift for bushing are going out and the tranny needed to be rebiult
A plugged transmission filter can cause your transmission to hesitate when you shift into drive. A collapsed vacuum hose can also cause the problem.
usually a linkage problem - adjust linkage that connects transmission to gear shift
The gears in your transmission may be sticking or worn out. This would cause your transmission to not be able to shift.
The shifting in your 95 Dimante should work properly. If it is not, there is probably a gear out and you will need some transmission work done.
Could be a universal joint. If front wheel drive, it could be the constant velocity joint. I am assuming you have an automatic transmission. If it is a standard transmission, it could be the throwout bearing.
because its a stick shift dumb asses
