my 1997 Ford f-350 7.3 liter diesel pulling a load on hill just stopped going forward but will back up ,took pan off very little debris in pan what could be the problem
A 97 Saturn that stays in forward gears could be one of two problems. Either the electronic transmission controls are stuck in forward, or the internal bands in the transmission have welded themselves together.
the clutch or clutches in the transmission are bad,even if changing the tranny filter helps the forward gears will not be right and quit again
The typical turbo 350 has three speeds forward and one reverse.
The transmission input shaft has gears on it that mesh with the different drive gears. It is spun by force from the engine, as you select different gears with the shifter, there are different sets of gears being meshed together inside transmission. The synchronizers ensure that the gears being meshed together are turning at the same speed, thus resulting in a smooth shift and no damage to the gears.
If it just lasts for 1 or 2 seconds, it is the clutch plates ratteling and not to worry.
The transmission is broken. Take it to a shop.
If this is an automatic transmission, more than likely the transmission is on it's way to the junkyard. Usually failing transmissions lose reverse first, then the higher forward gears - last will be the lowest forward gears.
yes it would cause the gears to slip more or less
your transmission is most likely bad if it an automatic but if it a manual then your clutch could be bad
A bad computer could cause several problems. The car may not shift properly. The overdrive might not work. In some models the transmission may stay in forward gears no matter what the selector is set to.
3 forward, 1 reverse
A Super Beetle with a manual transmission has four forward gears and one reverse. A Super Beetle with an Autostick transmission has three forward and one reverse.

could be either transmission shift linkage not engaging reverse ( stops at neutral ) worn joint connectors sometimes cause this. or reverse clutches or gears bad inside transmission.
your problem is the transmission. you need to replace the transmission
If the transmission is slipping or shifting badly it COULD be a sign of a valve body failure. If the transmission will not engage reverse or any of the forward gears, it COULD be a sign of a valve body failure.
The most common cause for a transmission not to change gears, is low transmission fluid. Check the transmission fluid and fill to the full line.
