I attempted to back up out of the garage to go to an evening function. The car seemed to resist the reverse procedure. After exiting the car and continuing to receive continuing resistance to reverse or in drive I exited the car. I could see no problem with obstacles. My neighbor, who was walking her dog, said that the rear wheels were not turning. I attempted several times to go forward but could not. Therefore, I forced the car back into the garage with the rear wheels screeching at the forward movement into the garage. This is where the car is at present. In the garage sunday morning 1/20/02.

Inititially the problem was thought to be the transmission and the transmission was rebuilt, along with clutches that were burned up. I picked the car up and drove it for about 30 minutes and at 30 miles per hour the car would not shift into the next gear. I immediately returned the car to the transmission specialist, bracey's auto repair who does the work for r.e. Davis and mr. Bracey checked the pressure on the modulator and replaced the modulator. He then did a test while driving the car and discovered that the pressure wasn't where it should be. He kept the car another day because he needed to maybe replace a piston. When I picked the car up he discovered a pin hole in the drum that was from a poor weld during assembly. Mr. Bracey gave me the part with the poor weld and is writing a description of the problem for me.

Again nearly 20 times when reverse when activated, the car did not go into reverse but the engine roared louder. Until the gears were taken out of reverse and then put back did it finally engaged. This has happened nearly 20 times since aug 1999. Twice on dec 25,1999, when reverse did not engage, car stalled when taking out of reverse gear. It has not reoccurred with the stalling out.

Started car, put in reverse and vehicle didn't move. Also, when putting into reverse the gear indicator jumped into neutral then reverse. Contacted dealer and repaired the modular, but still having the same problem. Can't duplicate the problem when it was at the dealer. Problem still continues.
