Automatic transmission problems
I have a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Sierra that developed a hole in the
transmission oil pan after I hit a rock on a gravel road. I noticed the oil dripping under the car, so I quickly drove it to the farm and parked it, with the intent to work on it ASAP. The car actually ended up sitting for a couple of months, and when I started it to work on it, it would not move in forward or reverse. I added several quarts of oil to the transmission, but it still doesn't not move. When I parked it, it was fine. The car was running great, with no problems other than the leaky transmission. Is there something I need to do to get the transmission to work again (i.e. somehow fill the torque converter with oil)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, |

I hope you didn't use oil?? |

It may say Dexron 2 on the stick. 3 is just the current version. Start the car and add fluid until it is not quite up to the full mark on the trans dip stick. Try it then. |
