Hi Everybody,
Unfortunately, I lost reverse today when getting to work. Like other posts I've read, nothing made me think something was wrong until I got to work and always back the ST in. Pulled up next to the spot, put it in reverse, thought I heard a "clunk" and then nothing, engine just revs. Reverse lights come on and all, but there just isn't anything there. I pushed it into the parking spot, as I had to get to work. But the forward gears are fine. (not sure for how long though)
Anybody else have this? Thoughts, recommendations?
I've had my ST for 15 years. 245,000 miles. Leaks oil pretty bad lately, couple things needed here and there, but now with losing reverse, I get the weird feeling that this may be the beginning of the end. I worry that I am looking at about $2000 for a new transmission.
What would you do? (just looking for some advice)
Thanks,
Tommy
