Re: Auto Trans permanently in neutral

The problem you are describing does appear unusual. The way I would 
start would be to verify that both ends of the shift cable are 
connected and adjusted properly. This requires the car to be raised 
off the ground and drop the oil and pan. The cable could also have 
broken or one of the ends came off. If you find that the shift cable 
is working and the trans still doesn't move you could have a bad shift 
valve body to a bad pump to blown clutches. The next step would be to 
see what the line pressure is. Without good line pressure you won't be 
going anywhere. Make sure there is enough trans fluid and it isn't 
"burnt". Check these things and get back to the list if the trouble 
isn't obvious. If when you pull the pan down and it is full of 
friction materiel you will be "biting the big one"(a full rebuild of 
the trans).
