Re: Transmission Issue.... need advice

Kinda hard to tell on just the little tiny black dipstick.

I'm going to drain the front diff this afternoon... see what comes out.

Worst case scenario..... what am I looking at here in the way of repairs?

Best case scenario?

It seems weird that 1st gear works properly... but only if I put the gearshift in "1". If I put it in D (even at a stop), the car does nothing.

I checked the AT fluid, car running..... in "N".

Would it make a significant difference?




EDIT: I checked the front diff again..... this time there was no pink.

So if there is any ATF fluid in there... it isn't much.

Plus, all the levels are full.

This gave me ZERO warning whatsoever. Wouldn't I have seen something like this coming?

Would just a tiny bit of ATF in the front diff render the tranny completely inop??

Except for 1st gear... which works perfectly??? But only if I put the gearshift in "1"??

This is weird.
