The transmission fluid is red, unburnt, however it stopped working completely suddenly. It does not move at all, like all gears are neutral. Could this possible be a valve body issue or something to do with the shift mode component that this car came with? Any simple tests or checks that can be done before taking it to a tranny shop ?

oh so you guys know, this is a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi

so the cable is there and working? assuming thats the case the diff I think can cause that too. diff pin I think.

the same exact thing happened to my friends '94 cutlass supreme a while back, he would put it in drive and it would just rev, and the in reverse and it would just rev, he took it to a shop and they said it was gone and he needed a new tranny.($1300)


i dont know much about trasmissions but try a few things before taking it to a tranny shop, before i had me transfluid changed my trans would slip when i put it is drive sometimes, then i would put it back in park, and then back to drive and it would work just fine, also if i punched it from like 30, instead of downshifting it would just rev......then blownbuick changed my trans fluid for me and it works like a brand new transmission.

umm, it could be too full...i have heard of transmissions not working when they have too much fluid in them

It'* also possible the pump gave out.

Sorry..I think it'* off to the trans shop.
