1995 Eagle Summit 1.8 Liter with automatic transmission suddenly behaves as if always in neutral with no unusual noises and no prior symptoms?
The first thing to check is transmission fluid level. Start the car and let it warm up to normal running temperature. With the engine still running, pull the dipstick for the transmission fluid and verify that it's in the "hot" range. If you are low on fluid, look for any transmission fluid leaks. Look primarily around the oil seals where the axel enters the transmission, and inspect the gasket for the transmission pan.
