I have a '92 ES and a peculiar problem occurred that left the car quite disabled. It started when I jumped in after leaving a bank and tried backing out of the parking spot. The car would role a little, but reverse would not fully engage. So I pulled out forward and decided to get straight home. On the way, I noticed that every time I came to a full stop, the car would hesitate to grab gear. About half way, my dumb-*** decides, "hey, I wonder if keeping the car in 2nd or L gear would minimize the problem." After that, it won't grab gear at all. It was a sudden problem that came from nowhere. I managed to get it towed home.
So, I start the car, and put it in gear. I give it throttle little by little, and there is no response until around 3-3.5 grand when the car jumps forward about a foot and stops. The fluid level looks okay and doesn't seem to be the problem. My brother has no clue as he has only built cars with manual transmissions, and I would enjoy any useful information I could get here. Thank you...
