- -> I can put the transmission INTO reverse, but it just doesn't move
- -> (engage?) It as though it's still in neutral. The car runs fine in
- -> drive (hi and low), and shifts just fine.
- -> So, my question is, what could possibly be wrong with the

- Most likely, your shift rod fell off, or the lever on the side of the
- trans fell off. Put it back on.
-
- If the rods are still hooked up, you have a broken shift fork. That
- not only requires special tools to get to, but GM doesn't sell them any
- more. You would have to replace the trans.
