YOU BETTER FIND IT!
take it to the shop!
Four forward, one reverse.
This could indicate a simple problem with the vacuum shift modulator or a major failure with the transmission. You will probably need to get it to a mechanic or a shop to get it properly diagnosed.
No, that would indicate transmission problems, is it a standard or and auto?
a blown transmission
sounds like the auto transmission has a fault
Another problem might be the sun gear drive shell in your auto transmission. GM 4L60 transmissions are notorious for this problem causing a no reverse symptom. this means that you will need some serious work done on your vehicle
If your Renault Espace's auto gearbox engages reverse but not forward, first check the transmission fluid level and condition, as low or dirty fluid can cause shifting issues. Next, inspect the transmission filter for blockages and ensure there are no error codes present in the vehicle's computer system. If these checks don't resolve the issue, it may indicate a more serious internal problem, such as a fault in the valve body or clutches, necessitating professional diagnosis and repair.
That's a sign that your transmission is going bad. Get it service.
