My 99 automatic runs great. However yesterday I went to back it back into the shop and it would not shift into reverse! Drive and the other gears were fine....then they all went out and the van was stuck in park!
-Checked linkage, when gear shifter was selecting, the linkage was moving.
-The van was level, so I checked fluid and it was fine.
Called a tow, he dragged it on the flatbed, backed up, lowered it into the shop.
Before we rocked it off the ramp, I asked if I could try to drive it off.
I got in, applied the brake, and it shifted and I drove it off the ramp!!
After he left, I went thru all the gears, it shifted okay, sometimes it hesitated though.
I have a lot of calls tomorrow! I was going to test drive it today. Yesterday was bitter cold.
I wonder if something got stuck? Then the jerking and incline loosened it up?
