I have a 2000 chevy malibu 3.1l automatic w/od. Reverse stopped working all other gears work fine. When i put it into reverse and give it gas it wants to try and go forward.

SOURCE: reverse is gone on 1995 chevy blazer s10-goes forward just fine

SOURCE: There is no reverse,but all of therest of gears work, this a automatic

You will need to replace or rebuild the transmission.

SOURCE: Transmission: Reverse

check power going to reverse shift solynoid and check neutral switch

SOURCE: 2000 Hyundai elantra transmission delay, reverse going

Did you check the transmission fluid level? If necessary, add fluid. However you probably have a more serious problem. Take the car to a qualified transmission mechanic.

SOURCE: 1991 Caprice No reverse. Moves in neutral. All forward gears OK.

This is Ron out of Vero Beach Florida. I have been doing trannys for years. The problem you described is caused (more than likely) by a seized clutch pack. Depending on the trans, and your car should be RWD with a 700r4 tranny, there are several sets of clutch packs and at least one band. Automatic transmissions rely on fluid pressure to "engage" the correct set of clutch discs, at the right time , to engage and change gears. I have seen in the past, where a customer parks his car for the evening and the next morning, no move. What happened?? More than likely, a clutch pack was on it\'s way out but cause the car was hot the plates were free, but after cooling, they can weld themselves together and actually "lock-up". In the morning you know the end result. Your tip on "moves in Nuetral" is the give away. Ron
