Transmission problem I had a transmission rebult for a 2000 F-150 it was put in and we started it and it made the awfulest sound then shut off. The mechanics started it again and now it will not move I can move the shifter to different gears but it will not move. Also i can put it in drive and push it backwards but not forward.

Hopefully, a transmission shop is only a few shut downs away. You need it checked for a mechanical problem or an electrical problem. An electrical fix is a lot cheaper than a rebuilt transmission, hundreds less., in fact.

Sorry to say that when you get a rebuild on a transmission they don't replace everything. Most transmission rebuilds are just the solenoids or seals or the whole solenoid package with a new converter. Few times do they go in and replace hard parts. And if they do, you really pay for it ($3000.00+) . And I personally have never heard of an up/down switch?? I would also check for the warranty on the transmission. Some rebuilds come with 3 year unlimited mileage. call them personally, don't let the mechanic do it.

bad 1way band probably needs trans rebult

I believe your torque converter is going out. See with an automatic transmission, a torque converter does what a clutch does in a manuel transmission. It allows the engine to continue to run when the car is at a stop by diconnecting the engine from the transmission. It sounds as though your torque converter is not functioning properly and it is causing your car to stall out. Hope this helps, and let me know how it works out for you!

CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL SOUND LIKE ITS VERY LOW.OR TIME FOR TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE.IF ALL IS GOOD TRANSMISSION NEED OVERHAULING.

Could be the stability control system that Saturn's have. Same thing on my 2008 Saturn..stumped me for a bit too.

have you tried changing the transmission ecu ?

Have your transmission oil filter changed;
it is located under the transmission pan
The oil is what makes the transmission shift
When you shut off the engine it stops the transmission pump then when you start up again the transmission shifts until the filter clogs again

Sounds like clutch material is clogging your filter and you are losing pressure.You can try a trans flush and new filter but that would be just a band aid.What happens is the clutch fibers clog the filter and whed you shut it down they fall off but when you start it up again they get sucked back in and it clogs again.

its most likely the transmission i have a 96 jeep grand cherokee laredo 12 yrs old ..it went about 3 months ago.i would take off at normall speed and it would rev. to about 3,000 RPMS and then the gear would catch ,and give u wiplash.lol but then it got worse. it would be fine taking off then while i was driving ,,i would be going any speed but wen i got up to speed it would start reving high [the gear was sliping] and i had to get it rebult it was like $3'000 grand plus
