Why does my Transman say I need a new transmission?
You need a new transmission. Transman might know the most likely cause on your particular transmission but it seems quite certain that a forward clutch is dragging or a planetary has seized. “I turned the engine off and checked neutral, it was not in gear but tried to go forward as soon as I started the engine.”
What does it mean when your car won’t go into neutral?
My Car Won’t Go Into Neutral. When your car shifter seems stuck and will not move to any gear from neutral, you may have problems with the transmission, the shifter or clutch (for manual transmissions). Before panicking and calling a tow truck you can troubleshoot the issue to see if you can get it to shift.
What does it mean when your transmission is not in gear?
“I turned the engine off and checked neutral, it was not in gear but tried to go forward as soon as I started the engine.” This sounds like the transmission is just fine, but the selector / shift linkage is broken.
What happens when you put the transmission in Park?
The transmission stays in forward / drive regardless of what you do with the selector. If you put the selector in “Park” can you push the car and get it to move? Well, I doubt if you need a new transmission. You turned the engine off and checked neutral, it was not in gear but tried to go forward as soon as I started the engine.

Why does my Trans not go into gear?
If it did puke transmission fluid all over, it could be a few things: 1 Loose torque converter 2 Bad seal at the driveshaft/cv joints 3 Loose transmission line.

What should I do if my transmission won’t work?
What you’re going to need to do is safely: Turn the vehicle engine on. Rock the vehicle with your foot off the brake. Press the brake down. Apply light pressure to the shifter. You don’t need to go breaking the shift linkage. Hopefully that worked. You want to get a little pressure off of the parking mechanism in the transmission.
