Car stopped moving

[spotaneagle]

could very well be a torque convertor or gear selector mechanism

have some one who knows what to look for inspect these parts...
when i blew a tranny there was a hole on the outside of it and i was beating the car the night before, also the fluid was also brown not red

oh yea ford's aka cad's are known for loose tranny gear selectors, ive seen some girls car roll down the street into another car, because of this, also my other friends ford slams when he puts it into gear, the cars are junk whadayaexpect? even new cads get bad ratings for being over priced however ford has hybrids and stuff and cars that handle better than cady sports cars of today, Focus RS for example

I would think that if the torque converter is so bad that the car won't move, that it has in turn damaged the transmission as well, and just replacing the torque converter will not fix the problem.

Also, since when I replace the transmission it'll probably be a junkyard unit, I'll probably replace the torque converter at the same time.

Cadillac is a GM brand. Ford's main luxury brand is Lincoln.

snag my bad they have lincoln cadillac dealers maybe i was confused haha h

however it would not surpirse me to see a cadillac and a ford using the same gear selector lever in the 1990's was jeep a ford jeep swap? since theyre both in detroit you gotta expect them to borrow something, like the on the wheel pull in and move type gear selectors for Automatics, I know ford/mercury taurus, vic sucks for those bad.

Does it lock up the transmission when you put it in park? Doesn't that indicate that the bands are all working and the gears to the wheels are good if the wheels lock when put into park? I would say drop the pan and check for junk in the filter screens and that may tell you what let go. From my Scion chat group reading it seems that the automatic tranny is a lot simplier parts wise than a manual transmission but not as easy to repair.

Yes, it does lock the transmission when you put it in park. The parking pawl is still doing its job. The torque converter seems to still be working also. I'll probably be looking into a junkyard transmission soon...
