Hi all, long time reader, first time poster.
I have been gifted a 1997 Cabrio auto with the AGG motor, and it’s in sorry shape.
The biggest problem is the transmission. It will move forward in D, tho is stuck in first gear from what I am told. Shifting into R, the car doesn’t move, the engine merely revs and there is no reverse motion. The car can be rolled around in neutral, but I note there is a whining/rotational noise from the gearbox when pushing it backwards in neutral.
The box has been driven for months making hard shifts, the owner only stopped driving the car when it got stuck in first.
I wanna believe it can be fixed with fluid and a filter, but that noise in neutral has me worried.
What’s my course of action here? Dropping the pan today to investigate. Any help much appreciated.
