Likely transmission is bad--check fluid level first--using instructions on dipstick. If ok. have checked by transmission expert.

Are you sure you have all 4 forward gears? Most of the time a no reverse condition also means 1st and 3rd only.No 2nd or 4th.If you dont have all the forward gears as i suspect , the reaction shell is stripped or broken.If you do have all the forward gears then these are the two most common reasons you do not have reverse.1 reverse input clutches are damaged or burnt 2 forward cltches have slipped to the point they are welded together causing a mechanical bind in reverse and also causing the transmission to pull forward in neutral.Let me know if i can help.Good Luck.

The heater blows hot air when in cool position on a 98 olds bravada

AC not working?

on a hot day it will blow warm/hot air if the AC is turned off or not working

If its hot air and AC is working then i would start by checking the fuse or relay. if its not the fuse/relay then i would look into the heater box there is a door that blocks the hot air

After replacing a bad converter in the exaust I test drove the 98 bravada and when it shifted out of first I heard a bang and now I have no reverse and no secund. What most likely happened to the trans?

are you talking about replacing a CATALYTIC converter? If so, that would have nothing to do with a trans problem like you are describing-your symptoms point to a bad TORQUE converter or possibly a shift solenoid, but check your trans level first.

Auto trans will not go in to reverse but drive works fine

if the for forward gears work fine ,i would say it an internal trans problem and may need to be overhauled.

Have a 1997 olds bravada with 4.3 eng. trans. works fine when cold but goes out of gear as eng. temp. goes to norm. will only go back into gear when eng. is cold. can i get any thoughts on this?

If the trans is not wore out or a crack in the internal housing of the trans,change the fluid and filter.Use recomended atf fluid,and add a additive called lube gaurd.You can find it at NAPA auto parts.This is a real good additive for the valve body,witch I beleive ,and you hope,that I fixes your problem.The problem would be the valve body is sticking,and heat makes it worse,if this does not work,a trans overhaul is to be expected.

Do you have a 4WD Bravada? Or an AWD? If it is AWD, there is no shifting. It is in 4WD Drive all the time.

Do you have something on the dash that allows you to change from 2WD to 4WD HI/Lo? Is so, then check your fuses in the fuse box. You may just have a blown fuse.
