hey my mr2 has got a auto transmission an wen i put it in reverse it bogs and doesnt even reverse just sits still. and wen its in neutral it moves forward like another gear anyone got ideas wot is causing this??

As with any auto tranny, the gears are moved hydrolically, this means that there is a "valve room" thats how I call it dont know the techy name for it, that moves the tranny fluid in certain chambers causing pressure in diff spots, this is what ultimately moves the gears, from what you're describing it sounds like 1. The tranny fluid is low or 2. some seals in that "valve" room are gone and wont hold the pressure.

Hope this helps, auto trannies are relatively complicated, at least on the cars I've dealt with, you're better off trying to find a shop that deals with trannys if the fluid level looks ok.

ok thanks. woah i rang up a transmission place they said something about clutch plates welded together or something and it guna cost 2- 3000$ nz to fix be cheaper just to put a used transmission in.

They should be able to diagnose the issue before actually doing work on it, it shouldnt be that expensive. I suggest you try to find a reputable shop to get the diag done on it, then choose wether its worth it or not.

Glad the info helped.

o yeh i forgot when i bought my car which wasnt very long ago i got a two year mechanical warranty on it and up to 3,500$ in cover for each claim and only 250$ excess makes it easier to pay for to fix it :smile:
