It is still a bit unclear what is going on here, when you say it seems to work, do you mean the clutch disengages? Can you change gears OK with the engine running and the clutch depressed?

When you say it does not engage the plate, do you mean the vehicle does not move? To change gears it must DISengage the plate, not the other way round.

Sorry if I seem picky, but I'm trying to get it all straight. If you can change gears OK with the engine running and the clutch depressed, but the vehicle does not move when you let the clutch pedal up, then the clutch is possibly worn out and needs replacing.

If the opposite and you cannot get it into gear with the clutch depressed, then the clutch throwout fork has possibly broken, which is not uncommon. Alternatively but less likely is that there is so much air in the clutch hydraulic line that it has become ineffective.

1999 Honda Odyssey will not engage Reverse. Engages all forward gears

Park you car on a level surface. Set the parking brake on you car; start the engine and let it get to full operating temperature; pop the hood and while the engine is running, check the transmission fluid by pulling out the transmission dipstick. Wipe off the dipstick, reinsert it into the dipstick tube all the way down, then pull it out again and check the fluid level.
As you check the fluid level, observe the fluids' color; any discoloration, other than a bright red color, means the transmission is going bad, especially if the fluid smells burnt.
If the fluid passes the visual and smell test, make sure the transmission fluid level is within or between the fill and full marks. If you need to add transmission fluid, make sure you use the right type based on the car manufacturer's specs which are located in your car's owner's manual. In absence of one, call your local dealership or parts store, they can easily look it up free of charge. Of course if the level is low, add a little fluid at a time through the dipstick tube while the car is running- checking the fluid level frequently.
Then check the PCM for any DTCs; are you pulling any fault codes?
If there is damage to the bands, clutches, or solenoids, a tear down and rebuild of the transmission will have to be done; and it is costly

Will not go forward

Check transmission fluid level. If low then add to top of full line. If fluid is full already, is it burnt looking or smelling? If answer is yes, replace transmission. Sorry, but not much will keep the transmission from working. If the fluid is really low then the the pump won't have enough to engage the gears. However chances are if the fluid is that low then it is burnt looking and smelling too which means that the transmission will need major repairs.

I bought a 92 Chev 2500 4X4 from a guy just recently. He said the tranny wont go into gear. I found the transfer case was in neutral. So i put it in gear and away it goes. But reverse seamed sluggish. ...

If your transmission is a 700r4 (4l60) you have a reverse band that engages when you want to go in reverse. since it drives forward your low reverse clutch and your fwd clutch are working. This leaves the band which was probably slipping now is not engaging.

The "BRAKE" light on the

I would check the brake fluid level. It is under the hood on the drivers side up near the windshield. There will be a white/clear reservoir with a black cap(Might mention DOT3 only on it). Open that up and check the fluid level, it should be at least 1/2 full to full. (there is marks on the reservoir that show what full is).

My clutch wont engage it was working fine one day the next i had almost no resitance on my pedal

Check master for fluid level, check line going to slave unit, check slave unit (any leaks, you have found problem) If master is full, it may be internally bypassing in that case it may not leak but will not put pressure into the line. (fluid goes around piston instead of being pushed) If master is low and no obvious leak found, look under dash where clutch rod goes into the back of the master. you may find fluid there.

Auto trans problem

Transmission fluid is low. Drive the car 15 or 20 miles to heat up the transmission. Check the transmission fluid level with the car running in neutral with the parking brake engaged. Add transmission fluid to come to the full mark. Go slow when adding fluid. DO NOT OVER FILL!! This should fix your problem.

Dodge dakota 4x4 transmission will not engage

Check the fluid level. Low fluid levels will not allow the transmission to engage. If fluid level is full, more than likely you will have an internal problem.

1998 Chrysler Grand Voyager Automatic gear box slipping

If the fluid is full , it sounds like the trans pump is loosing prime. If it is there will be a code set. The code will not always turn on the light. Go have the codes checked. If it does have a loss of prime code in the trans computor and the fluid is full then you will need the trans pump replaced

Check fluid level in the clutch master cylinder. It is probably low. If so, top it off and bleed the clutch system then check for lkeaks.
