bad transmission
If you have an automatic transmission, it probably has a forward clutch/band problem.
If the automatic transmission on a 2002 Kia Rio won't go into park and there is no reverse, there is a problem inside the transmission with the gear bands. Each gear has a separate band and sometimes they wear out. New bands need to be put in or a new transmission needs to be installed.
Does it grind or is nothing there? if it grinds, the shift rail is probably broke or a syncronizer is bad. If theres nothing there, the gear has failed. Either way, it's gotta come out.
clutch is worn out
It needs to be in park or neutral to start. All cars have a "safety" switch which prevents starting in gear.
cuz it wont silly!
it will drive but when in reverse it wont move
why reverse wont go in on 2004 town car
Is it an automatic or standard? automatic and fluid is not pumping when engine is running
has a full charge won't go forward or reverse
trans is slipping
There is also a small switch on the transmission that goes bad.This prevents the transmission from shifting. Bring it to a transmission shop and have it changed. It usually costs about $100 or so including labor... or you can do it yourself.
