Want this question answered?
When we have this problem, we turn the ignition off and shift into neutral, restart the engine and it can then be shifted into drive or reverse.
Because reverse is a lower ratio gear than drive and puts less load on the engine.
You have to get the engine looked at.
check your transmission fluid level. If it's low, then reverse goes out first. If that doesn't do it, you may need to take it to a transmission shop..
It depends on how wet the engine got. If it will not immediately restart and there wasn't a lot of water getting into the engine if you wait 20 - 30 minutes the engine may have dried out sufficiently to restart however if the engine was very wet then you are looking at a trip to the garage to get it dried out
If a Lincoln LS V8 is making a engine noise when it is shifted into drive or reverse, it could indicate a seized gear in the transmission. It could also indicate a low transmission fluid warning.
sounds like the auto transmission has a fault
buy a mercedes
it will drive but when in reverse it wont move
Check your O2 filters
Engine idle too high.
If the check engine light is on...might be a dirty EGR valve.
