Will not go into drive or reverse and there is nothing wrong with your transmission?

If you know there is nothing wrong with the transmission, it is either the shifter handle not releasing completely, the linkage or cable to the transmission depending on which you have, or where they connect to the transmission. Did anything happen shortly before this started? Impact, any work in the engine compartment, hit a large pothole? Year, make and model of the car might be a factor in finding an answer.


When you take off your transmission is stuck in low gear is the transmission bad?

Does it stay stuck in first gear? or does it change and when it changes does it seem to wanna slip... if it does shift and it shifts smoothly it might be the kick down lever that's going to the transmission... sometimes they can become rusty making the vehicle shift at much higher RPMs then normal, making you think that its the transmission. If its not that then it might be the bands, or servos... im not a transmission exspert, but I do know somethings about them... Also, it might be the filter... sounds weird, I know, but always check fluid levels and filter as well, a clogged filter or old fluid can make the transmission seem bad, when its actually just the fluid and filter... lots of things to consider... thanks, hope ive helped.


How do you know if you need to flush transmission?

If you wait for a transmission to have problems before you have it professionally flushed, you've waited to long. It really depends on your driving conditions but in most cases I would flush it every 50K, it will pay in the long run.
