Car will not move in reverse. Won't roll down hill or move under power while in reverse. It will engage the gear and try to move (engine does not rev freely like in neutral) but won't go anywhere.
First gear is kind of doing the same thing but will move under full throttle (gear selector on 1). I have been driving with the Manuel button in cause of this but it doesn't really seem to act any different than not having Manuel button in.
When driving it seems to just skip over first gear, so its real sluggish to get going. Its like that up to about 2800rpm or about 30mph then suddenly it pulls like it should.

Good news is that it works and hasn't actually completely crapped out on me. I just thought it had and errored on the side of caution to not cause more damage.
Normally if it won't roll forward or backward the band has been tightened way too tight.
Try backing off the adjustment 1/2 turn to see if it will at least roll then.

Re: Trans flairs

I loosened it up some and it seemed to help a little in drive but had no effect on reverse. It won't roll with engine running but if I shut it off it rolls just fine in gear.
I should have known it was the band I just forget. Ill have to adjust some more and see how it goes.

Well I got another deployment here in a short while so I just need it to get me through a bit more and then it will get some love when I get back.
