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

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

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.

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.

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.

Have you had the trans oil level checked!
piercingirl,
Sep 10, 6:37am
Nope. Can I do that myself or take it to a mechanic!

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.

And now the car is going into gear, but still revving pretty high before changing.
