i've searched other tranny problems and it seems like all of them are completely different from mine. with that being said,
i was in an accident late last year and my 240 met a tree. there was damage only to the front and the frame got bent. only the distributor cap was cracked but the rest of the engine was completely untouched. but afterward, i can only put it in 1st and 2nd gear, it wont go into 3rd or 4th, and i cant even move it to the right to attempt to put it in 5th or reverse, and on top of that, even though it is in neutral, the clutch has to be depressed for it to roll freely. tranny has not been used since and i have it out of the car.
1. does anyone know what the problem is and if it is fixable?
2. if it is fixable, would it be a rather inexpensive fix, or am i better off looking for another tranny?
3. and i am a noob on trannys and have never opened up one in my life, so do you think i could DIY fix it??
because of the content in the other threads i've searched, im trying to avoid taking it to a transmission shop because its mucho $$$, but many have said tranny work is not an easy task to DIY. the car is a 93 ka24de if that makes any difference. thanks in advance.
