Re: tranny problem with 90 Bonneville with 3800 V-6

It doesn't help - the car will go into reverse and both wheels will
move, and the car will move backwards in reverse gear.

Did anyone read the whole posting - the car started up find and I backed
it out of the driveway.  It goes in reverse just fine.

It just won't move forward in drive.

Do you get it - the problem is only trying to move forward.
