Default Help! SC400 won't go into Drive
Hey guys, my car will not go into drive at all, not L, 2nd, or D. It will go into reverse. When I put it in drive, it just revs like its not engaging. Please help, and let me know what the problem is. Thanks

Doesn't sound good.....Sounds like the tranny took a dump.
I hope I'm wrong.
Good luck

Change your tranny fluid and you can see / smell if the clutches are burnt up. Seeing as in your fluid will be black as hell.

Could it be an issue with the TC? The tranny is low mileage, and I've used the Type T-IV fluid.
