- Hacksaw,
- Don't know if this will help ya but I had the same problem with my
- car. I bought an ols police car (89 Caprice with the police package). At
- first the tranny was fine but as we all know the lack of respect the cops
- show to their cars finally caught up with my car. It sounded exactly like
- your problem - doesn't click into reverse but rather rolls after a few
- seconds backwards, but when giving it some gas - nothing. I took it to
- a transmission place and they rebuilt the thing for me ($1200 - ouch).
- When they opened the pan up it was full of metal parts even though the
- level was ok. Also one of the internal pumps was shot and basically they
- replaced every hard and soft part in there. Your transmission is probably
- in better shape than mine was but I would atleast replace the transmission
- fluid and maybe take a look at the internal parts as well.
