tranny problem

[KingKong8247]

Ok my car has been driving great no problems at all. I leave work go onto the highway in third car bucks back and forth real hard, rpms redline then it goes back to normal. I was like umm ok keep going

20 minutes later same thing happens twice in a row at a red light. I pull off the highway and 1st 3rd and 5th dont work i drive in 2nd and 4th Come to a stop sign and all gears arnt working.

Car feels great though It goes into gear, shifts fine, clutch is fine, it feel like all is normal just the driveshaft is missing and the car wont drive anywhere

Basically all is fine it just wont drive

I look at it tonite on stands. I see one of the reverse sensor wires isnt connected. I connect it and get in the car and rear tires spin in gear. I go back under solder them on test it again and they dont work. I go back under take the solder off, wrap the wires good and it works again so I tape it up real tight.

Bring the car off the stands and go to drive and nothing.

I dont understand why the reverse sensor would cause this. I have never had any problems with the tranny no grinding or nothing. It has around 175k miles on it.

Is it possible a sensor went bad? All other wires are hooked up good. It has fluids in it and all bolts are there

Any ideas?

Haha yea thanks it is wierd as shit I think its gotta be something electrical

Anyone have any ideas?

Now i found out 4th gear works but none of the others. I cant find anything in the FSM and the ecu is running no codes so Im stumped

a sign that u shoudnt drive it n e more =(..ever hear of cursed cars...i believe in it...weird superstition....jk.take a peak into where ur tob and slave meet...so if it jumped out of place...happened to me

All the reverse sensor does is turn on reverse lights. Is this a manual swap? or OEM manual? Sounds to me like a motor problem not trans...or maybe a loose nut behind the wheel...lol. Sorry

Yea I figured that with the reverse sensor it was just wierd that i hook the wires back up and it worked.

The engine and tranny have never given me any problems in past 3 years but I took it out of the old shell and put them in this new one so maybe the new one is cursed. I hope not **knock on wood**

I dont think its the tob but Ill check it
OEM 5-speed


I did a lil searching and came up with its prob the gear box I saw two threads that same thing happened. I replied in one so hopefully the guy gets back to me.
Another thing is up on stands with it in gear I can turn the rear wheels in reverse (vlsd rear) I dont ever remember being able to turn the wheels at all while its in gear but that was always an open diff
