First I have a 1990 RR Classic. I had the dealer replace the transmission filter and put new fluid in 2 months ago. Okay now the story, went wheeling yesterday with some friends went through a lot of muddy water. We have a sand mud mix here in Eastern NC. I left the truck running for the whole afternoon as fear of it being wet. I went through a couple of long mud holes and afterwards my truck was idling and the trans light would fade in and out, then when I started driving no problem. Later my vehicle was shut off and I couldn't get it to restart, so we towed it out of the woods and down a paved Highway. Only did like 30mph, I towed with vehicle in N and the VSC was in N or H not sure now. Anyhow today runs fine (damn check engine light went out finally), but the vehicle wont go in reverse. It goes fine in Drive, but reverse wont engage, back up lights come on, hit the gas doesnt move. put it in N and it wont even roll, it is like it is stuck in reverse also, I cant here it drop in, but it definitely wont roll in any direction. Sorry so long just wanted to give all the facts. Please help, My wallet is scared.   Ron Brown (Ron) Member Username: Ron Post Number: 114 Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Monday, March 03, 2003 - 07:47 pm:    "My wallet is scared" Change the fluid and see what happens, if not well a new trans ain't cheap.

The proper proceedure is the put the t-case in neutral and the transmision in park. The transmission in park holds the output shaft of the trans and keeps it from spinning thus avoiding damage. I have seen transmissions damaged this way before. May want to drop the pan and inspect the bottom of it for debris.
