Ford laser hatch. Won't go into gear. Automatic

Won't go into reverse, just revs. Luckily finally engaged gear to park it in a safe place. (moving forward) assume this means the transmissions gone! Previously revving very high before finally changing gear.

Check the trans fluid but by the sound of it not a good prognosis what year is it

thunderbolt, Sep 9, 6:26pm
Sounds terminal and expensive.

The time to try and save it was when it first started slipping between gears.

piercingirl, Sep 9, 6:29pm
Yup thats what I thought. Anyone want to buy a car!

piercingirl, Sep 9, 6:30pm

curlcrown, Sep 9, 8:25pm

Just couldn't resist to comment eh. #8

Oh Johnny boy, maybe if you actually offered some help and knowledge instead of flashing your fake TMMB police badge, someone might actually take you seriously.
Hit the pike sunshine, you ain't needed here.

johnf_456, Sep 9, 8:33pm
Meh that is your opinion, I do help you just need open those eyes. I know it is hard at this time of night. Not all of us are into advertising our services on the boards while others pay to advertise.

thunderbolt, Sep 9, 8:35pm
You sure do help Johnny, you are the fibre that gets the boards"moving"

piercingirl, Sep 10, 1:50am
Ok, just to clarify, that was a joke, as in a car with no working transmission would probably not be that appealing to buy. Sheesh.

piercingirl, Sep 10, 1:53am
And the post about year and mileage was for poster number 2.

splinter67, Sep 10, 5:56am
Sorry to ask another question what motor is it I might have a trans for you and grow up John you are making yourself look worse than dud

piercingirl, Sep 10, 6:15am

splinter67, Sep 10, 6:23am

piercingirl, Sep 10, 9:59am
Thanks, might just bite the bullet and get another car.

ceebee2, Sep 10, 2:56pm
Have you had the trans oil level checked!

piercingirl, Sep 10, 4:37pm
Nope. Can I do that myself or take it to a mechanic!

mugenb20b, Sep 10, 5:01pm
Yep, can do it yourself, but will be easier if a mechanic does it.

1. Vehicle has to be on flat, level ground (garage floor for example).
2. Engine must be running.
3. Gear lever in N or P.
4. Pull the transmission dipstick out (it should be on the passenger side of the engine bay with an invisible black handle/holder) and wipe it clean. Insert dpistick and check the oil level. There will be low and full marks on the dipstick and possibly hot and cold levels. The fluid should be red in colour and not smell burnt. If the oil level is low and needs topping up, use Dexron lll type fluid. Filling is done through the dipstick tube.

Coll the one I have would have fitted but someone dropped some steel on it now we know what the inside of a laser trans looks like

piercingirl, Sep 11, 3:35pm
Checked transmission fluid. The level is ok but its looking pretty brown

piercingirl, Sep 13, 9:09am
And now the car is going into gear, but still revving pretty high before changing.
