Transmission issue?
So since I've had my car, it's run flawlesly. Only complaint I've had is a slight valve cover leak. Well today, I went to leave work, and I put it in reverse, it wouldn't engage. So I put it in drive, went into gear, tried reverse again, nothing. So one more time in drive, then back into reverse, and it went. It drove and shifted ok, but I parked, and it struggled to get back into reverse, just not as bad now. It seems to work okay now, but it never did it before, what should I look for being that it has 189k on it?

Is the trans fluid at the correct level? Do you change it every two years or 20K? If not try a fluid change. If you do take care of the trans you'll have to have a professional look at it. Transmissions are pretty complicated.

hey voodu, if I were you, I'd get the car in the shop ASAP. I had the same problem with my benz and I could get the car to shift to drive, but not back to reverse or park once I got it to "d". I was 19 and stupid and drove my poor baby like that for a couple of weeks. My transmission stopped shifting and the gears wound up getting all chewed up and I had to rebuild my transmission Not trying to scare you, but just have it checked right away.
