oooo not good at all. can you get under your car and see if there's a big splatter of red tranny fluid under it? and if there is your seals are gone. hmmm , replacing it is an option. add fluid in after changing the filter and pray your pump has not or does not blow out do not drain any tranny fluid still in it or you most def will blow the transmission pump if you do. GOOD LUCK trannys are a expensive thing to replace and junkyards are not the place to find one
Do the old additive method before you give up....................add one and a half cans of `Sea Foam TRANSMISSION TREATMENT' to it and follow directions. Sometimes that can of stuff is AMAZING! don-ohio
You say transmission fluid levels are good. Is it a nice red or pink color or is it an orange, brown to black color. Does the vehicle actually shift into gear, the linkage from the gear shift from park to drive or reverse maybe be unhooked you can check that out also. Does the trans fluid smell burnt, should be kind of a sweet smell. Good Luck
Doesnt sound good. Check your transmission fluid. If it is dark instead of pink or red, it is burnt. It will also smell burnt if you smell it. if its burnt the trans is probably toast. The only thing you can do is service the transmission by changing the filter and all of the fluid and see how it goes. Im not saying that this will work but this is the only thing you can do before officially pronouncing it DOA. Sorry..
A transmission problem would not make the steering wheel vibrate. Have you ever had the Transfer Case fluid changed? This is required every 50K miles. A qualified transmission technician should evaluate your problem.
Check the transmission fluid first to make sure there is enough in the transmission and it is not leaking out. Look at the fluid on the dipstick and smell it. If the fluid is not red in color or smells burned the low/reverse clutch pack in the transmission could be worn out. Wipe the fluid off of the dipstick onto a clean white rag, if you see a grey looking stain on the rag there may be metal particles in the fluid possibly indicating a failed planetary/sun gear set in the transmission. . .good luck.
Try unplugging the electrical connection on the transmission to lock it in 3rd. It might get you moving. Although the transmission is going to need rebuilt or replaced.
if you can place it in any gear and it will not move, first check fluid level and condition of trans fluid, if it smells burnt you may have to replace tranny
