Just bought this car from a friend who owns a used car lot.
Drove fine . Car has 83k+ Miles on it . Drove it from Philadelphia , Pa to Allentown , Pa & it broke down .
Car will start but won't pull in any gear .
Checked trans fluid ( Was kinda brownish ) & kinda low .
Put enough in to make it leveled , Still has no effect .
No check engine light , Doesn't seem to overheat . Don't know whats wrong . Any help is appreciated .
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
If the engine starts and rpm changes when you rev the engine but the car does not move when forward or reverse is selected something in the drive train is broken most likely a transmission failure.
Thanks for the response .
Unfortunately the Rpm stays on 0 . I meant to mention that the trans fluid smelt kinda burnt .
(Indication of a transmission failure) Correct ???
Gonna try & get it to a trusted shop asap ( Maybe tomorrow ) !!!! But i wanna diagnose this before hand .
Thanks again
You're transmission may be bad you may also try the shifter cable as well. I was having similar issues with mine. I hope this was helpful and you have you're car up and running soon
