Sounds bitch'n but it won't go.amywhere. to make a lomg story short. I bought her for $1000.00 beautiful red and black paint scheme. Well when I got it the second owner a good 24 year old in meed of money. Well the guy said it would need engine amd tramsmission work. Being an automatic I was already dreading the worst. Well it shifts but appears to go no where. It will shift into all gears but none of them work including reverse. I droped the pan and found way to much fluid in the sump. I also noticed the shift soleniod disconected. I reconnected terminals and relplaced the transmission filter and fluid. Upon start up I turned the car on and attemped to shift. It shifted into all gears but no movement. If I accelarated while in 1st it moves just enough to get the car up the driveway No reverse thou... Where should I start and what should in buy? 01-07-2015, 12:04 AM

Do you mean that the shift will move into all positions or that you can actually feel the trans shift when you give the engine throttle? If the driveshaft is turning and the car is not moving you will to check the diff. 01-07-2015, 07:30 PMModerator

Is there a slave cylinder? Or does the shift cable have an adjustment? Should I just change all shift solenoids? I didnt see any metal shavings when I dropped the pan and drained the transmission fluid. Should I just pull the transmission? 01-09-2015, 04:55 PMRegistered User Thread Starter

Join Date: Aug 2010 Location: Ann Arbor, MI Posts: 6,592 The shifter is connected to the trans by a cable. If your wheels are locked in
Park, but you have no motion in Reverse, then it is very low fluid pressure, a clogged filter, a defective trans pump, a defective converter or a broken internal part. Here is a quick/approximate way to check the pump: Make these tests and tell us the results. 01-10-2015, 12:22 AMRegistered User Thread Starter

Okay, the transmission pump is perfect. Moderator

Join Date: Aug 2010 Location: Ann Arbor, MI Posts: 6,592 What is a "transmission reservoir"? F-body just have a dipstick and tube. Compare Reverse with 1st gear. If Reverse accelerates fine it is not your converter. 01-14-2015, 05:43 AMRegistered User Thread Starter

Reverse works great.. no other gears work in forward (drive status) transmission resevoir is the pan... Moderator
Join Date: Aug 2010 Location: Ann Arbor, MI Posts: 6,592 Based on what you have said so far, it sounds like very low trans line pressure or a worn out forward clutch. I say this because Reverse has a mechanism (via the boost valve) to raise line pressure and does not use the forward clutch. If you really want to keep fiddling with it yourself, here are some ideas: You might find that the car is somewhat driveable with the connector removed; at least enough to drive it to a repair shop for a definitive diagnosis. Good luck. 01-14-2015, 04:36 PMRegistered User Thread Starter

Where is this located. to 300psi.2. If you disconnect the electrical connector to the trans, the trans will only have 3rd gear (and Reverse) but will run at max line pressure. However it is hard to reach the connector on an F-body. To disconnect it, you only need to reach it and with strong fingers simultaneously press the front and back of the connector to lift it up and off. 01-15-2015, 07:43 PMModerator

How an it be the torque converter? If the trans works in reverse just fine then the converter is working. Really sounds like an internal problem to me What transmission does a 1994 Camaro have?Several changes were made for the 1994 model year.
