Hans1965 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Dear all, standing on the highway with my CdV and in need of quick and good advice. No matter what I do with the hydramatic gear selector, there are no gears. Car is in neutral and idles fine, but no reverse, no low, no drive. Still in neutral. Looks like the connection of the lever to the transmission is gone. Any other explanation, quick fix or solution? We were driving in 4th gear, then it shifted down to 3rd for no apparent reason and then it was in neutral and no power anymore. Don't want to crawl underneath. Here is the start of school holidays and high traffic. Thanks, Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterc9 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Low on fluid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans1965 Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Hi, just crawled underneath. No easy fix. Linkage between shift leaver and transmission is completely okay. That leaves it to the tranny. I just drained it and now I open the pan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans1965 Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Was not low on fluid. Checked that even on the highway while idling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Since everything stopped working all at once it sounds to me like the transmission lost pressure. Possibly due to a failure of the front pump. Just a guess. Let us know if you find anything in the pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
