What in the world??? Tranny.



Ok, so im very mechanically inclined, and actually put the current trans and engine in this car, but this is just boggling my mind.



Engine: 1MZFE

Tranny: Auto 4spd



Last night, after a 50 mile drive in CO, not cold, no special conditions or anything, no check engine lights, no nothing, as I was parallel parking I lost reverse. Turns out I lost 1, 2, 3, 4 as well. So I towed my car to buddy's house, and then put it back in drive, and IT WORKED!!! I haven't driven it yet, because im paranoid, but anyone have any idea how mysteriously this happened? me and my buddy were stumped.



Sounds: Initial "squeek" (sounds like pneumatics almost) followed by light griding noise, light)

sure the cable from the shifter to the trans is adjusted right? This has happend in the past with a cpmpletely unrelated vehicle of mine.



was the tranny cold when you put it in drive at your buddies place?

Warm, right after the drive within 5 minutes.



Actually, we thought about the cable, but didnt see any obvious adjustment apparati, recommendations? the shifter actually felt a little tight when the tranny was put in about 10k ago...



Just tested it again, cold, and it went back to the non-existant park and gears.
