On my 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais with Auto Trans, if my Problem was with the Shift Linkage or ‘Detent,‘ Would my Reverse lights come on when i moved the Gear Selector into ‘R‘?Or should i just skip all Fluid remedies and have the Other Trans thrown in?SOmeone DID say i should change the Filter, and see what happens, then get it Flushed and see, to see if it will help build up Pressure to make reverse work, in other words Exhaust FLushing Options to try to bring it back.I have Trans for this in the Trunk.Thank You.
no, if the problem is linkage the lights still come on, the lights are operated by a contact switch that trips when you put the gear selector in Reverse. If you know how, go ahead and try flushing the system and putting a new filter in, couldnt hurt to try, its fairly cheap and if it fixes it, good for you. If its a band or a clutch pack, youre better off replacing the entire trans.
wall to the best of my understanding of auto trains missions it is my be leaf that with out fluid you have no flow and with no flow no presser and with now presser you can move the linkage all you like and nothing will happen except moving the linkage its salve and changing the Direction of flow but once more that brings you back to flow and what dose it take to get flow must be a pump some place like in the converter and that is in the front of your transmission and is cornet to the flywheel so now flow now light go blink until presser and flow
