why wont my my rear wheels drive?

[snofrek]

i notice that a little after i bought my car, my rear wheels stopped driving and now my car is just front wheel drive? what goin on?!?!?!?! ive been told that i need to add fluid, but i needed to know from peoples that knew SVX's.... so if it is fluid, i need to raise the rear end to get to the rear differential, right? probably have to raise the front to make the car level, so the fluid will be even?...

If your worried about Fluid, then check under the Hood first. Stand over the Battery from the Drivers Fender, and look for a yellow handle to your right, and down, under the Brake Resivore, at the rear of the engine {that's the Tranny Dipstick}. Do this on a level area.
Frankly, there is not much chance of your Rear Differential being anywhere near empty, unless the lower plug came out {yup, there's 2}.

Check in your main fusebox while your up there. It's forward of the Shock Tower. If the fuse is IN for FWD {and a good fuse}, then your forcing the rear to shutdown. This is what's known as the "Limp Home" mode. If someone else put the fuse in, then they didn't tell you something.

the tranny fluid is fine, ive checked that b4, i just dont know y the rear wheels are not driving, they were when i picked up the car, when i bought it, but then a week or so after they stopped driving?!?!?!

Did you check for a fuse like was suggested? If that isn't it, then there are other problems.
