This is my son's daily driver. Well, it was until recently.
He called me the other day and said he heard a bang and then the Rover stopped moving. It would rev but wouldn't move.
He was able to get it home by shifting into 1st gear and driving slowly back.
He and I drained the fluid in the transmission, it was old and brownish but not burnt smelling and there were no metal flakes.
We put in fresh fluid following the RAVE manual. Whoever decided to remove the transmission dipstick should be poked in the eye.
The truck is drivable but only if we start in 1st gear and manually shift through the gears.
Does this point to internal damage or shift solenoids? Are there fuses I should be checking?
I know very little about automatic transmissions, so any help is appreciated.
