What exactly happens when you try to accelerate? Does the engine rev normally? If so, the first thing to do is to check the level of your transmission fluid. ---

Not that there aren’t other causes, but some years ago I drove my 50 mile commute and parked in the ramp in the morning. At night I backed out of the stall, put it in drive, and nothing. I only had reverse. I needed an overhaul but that’s how fast it can happen with no previous symptoms. At any rate, it has to go either to a dealer or a trans shop for an eval. ---

Thanks for getting back to us. What are you doing about it? Rebuild or replace? If it’s a replacement, is the transmission new, used, or remanufactured? [Next page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/problem-in-driving/124347.md?page=2)
